Why are people skeptical of AI?

A lot of people woke up to $2,000,000,000 (billion) Amazon Web Service bills.

How does such a rich company manage this? They can't even afford a human to look at the bills before they go out?
Let's look at what they are focused on in the AWS Invoicing department:

Let's look at what they are focused on in the AWS Invoicing department:
quote:
Software Development Engineer II, AWS Invoicing
Our platforms are powered by generative AI large language models, knowledge graphs, and agentic architectures that dynamically compose specialized agents based on context. We apply these capabilities across three reinforcing areas: intelligent launch readiness — where autonomous AI agents analyze, generate, and validate the information needed to go live in a new market; cloud-native service orchestration — where configuration-driven microservices replace per-launch bespoke engineering with centralized, reusable capabilities so that expanding into a new country becomes a zero-code configuration change rather than a development cycle; and continuous validation — where self-healing autonomous workflows manage the full validation lifecycle from planning through execution to intelligent failure diagnosis.
These three platforms feed into each other — the generative AI layer drives the orchestration layer, and the validation framework validates both, creating a closed-loop feedback system that improves accuracy and reliability with every launch. Together, they compress what has historically been a multi-month launch process into a matter of weeks.
We are looking for engineers who can help us build the platforms and tooling that will scale AWS's global expansion by an order of magnitude — with a growing backlog of market launches and a committed pipeline ahead.
In this role you will:
Design and build agentic AI systems that analyze, generate, and validate launch information across multiple countries, enabling domain experts to review in hours what previously took weeks. Build agentic architectures that compose specialized AI agents dynamically, enabling rapid iteration without code deployments and continuous learning from expert feedback. Architect configuration-driven pipelines so that launching a new market requires a config change, not a development cycle. Partner with engineers across service teams to make integration points configurable and testable by design, creating one-time investments that pay off on every subsequent launch. Build AI-driven continuous validation frameworks powered by agentic workflows and large language models that autonomously manage the full validation lifecycle. Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders to close the feedback loop between AI-generated output and domain expertise. You're a good fit if you:
Have built or contributed to AI/ML systems in production — agentic workflows, LLM pipelines, knowledge graphs, or retrieval-augmented generation — and know the difference between a demo and a system experts trust. Think in systems — how configuration propagates across services, how validation maps to launch readiness, and how failures surface to the right team. Are comfortable with ambiguity, making architectural decisions with incomplete information and iterating based on real results. Write clean, testable code and care about operational excellence on systems that sit on the critical path of AWS's global expansion. Prefer partnering with another team to solve a problem at the source over building a workaround on your side. Want measurable impact — we track launch velocity, automation coverage, accuracy, and defect reduction. What makes this team different:
Every launch you accelerate opens a new market for AWS. You'll work across a state-of-the-art AI-powered platform that spans launch readiness, service orchestration, and continuous validation — not just one slice. We build AI systems that experts use daily and measure success by whether they trust the output enough to stop doing it manually. You'll spend real time understanding adjacent systems and codebases, not just calling their APIs.

Didn’t read any of that. AI has helped me tremendously in retirement and investment planning free of charge.

Your trolls aren't even good anymore. I'll help out though.
AI is great as an advanced search but maybe executives shouldn't be trying to replace people with AI and make such massive mistakes in production. Lots of customers talking about freaking out when opening their mail this morning.

You are an admitted thief. None of us take you seriously, bro.
Did you scam Academy again today?

I hope he started by checking the couch cushions and under his mattress for some spare change

I mean… have you never watched any of these movies?

I made delightful chicken parm the other night, and I suck at cooking. THANKS, AI!

If I find out someone, personally, uses AI that I do business with, I cease conducting future business with them. No different than dealing with someone that is 300 pounds or overweight in general.
I see AI/personal respect as a litmus test for people I should engage and disengage with.

I don't think AI should be used as a replacement for people, but it's getting better. I asked it to come up with ideas for a comedy sketch I want to film. The ideas it came up with are miles better than two years ago.

You missed the progenitor from 1968, Darth.

You don’t know shite about investing so it’s not working

What does it feel like being disliked by everyone?

That's the issue with using AI unmonitored.
It fricks up.
It has to be reviewed by a human being.
These twits they have doing this shite think that it's infallible....

Pawpaw taught me that if you cant see the brain it thinks with, the heart it loves with, or the penis it pleasures with, DONT TRUST IT!

Sometimes you want to be alone amongst idiots. Haven’t life in La in a long time. Happy to help if you need it.

frick AI. As I've said before, a technology that will simultaneously erode human intelligence, undermine human autonomy, and create job insecurity and poverty for millions of hard-working American families. It should be restricted to fields (like medicine and the sciences) where it will benefit humanity and prohibited elsewhere.
