According to an article in *Inc* by AI consultant Joe Procopio, some corporate executives are turning against AI, with one anonymous CEO threatening to "fire the next person" who sends them an unedited email straight from ChatGPT. Procopio also noted another tech CEO who implemented a complete ban on AI across his entire company, the first such case he had heard of. These reactions come as companies using AI face growing costs from providers, which are encountering "critical data center, energy and labor bottlenecks," and broadly, companies are finding that AI is not worth the cost, creating a lose-lose situation where it loses money and fills inboxes with low-effort slop.
