The feedback from the architect was that the vendor was way too cautious in using AI. Nearly all vendors he has seen so far were too cautious. He lamented that no one was fully unleashing AI. They could achieve that by allowing read/write access to confidential data like ERP/CRMs and access to internet while being fully non-deterministic. Then AI could achieve lot more.
I explained that AI being right 95% of the time is still not good enough for finance workflows but he wouldn't budge. He kept repeating that non-deterministic and remove human in the loop is the way to go. I silently promised myself to stay away from any AI projects he might be part of.
