Agentic AI has a 98-99.5% failure rate.

But business leaders are still pretending (lying) AI is taking peoples jobs.

The best-performing current AI agents achieve an automation rate of 2.5%, failing to complete most projects at a level that would be accepted as commissioned work in a realistic freelancing environment. This demonstrates that despite rapid progress on knowledge and reasoning benchmarks, contemporary AI systems are far from capable of autonomously performing the diverse demands of remote labor.

@b1 AI isn't taking their jobs, AI investment is moving overhead priorities in the organisations. The company has just decided they can do with less of certain functions, they are fine with more outages, slower processes e.t.c. to chase after the pipe dream of replacing (and thus taking a large slice of the salaries of) a large majority of the worlds knowledge workers. The AI layoffs have been about investment priorities and not AI being able to do those jobs or even increase the productivity of those jobs. Even if AI could increase coding productivity by an order of magnitude it will probably only increase productivity by 10% as the majority of time is spent on engineering and not coding and an AI isn't going to improve those.

@as they may not be stupid but they sure are greedy. Having a good year on year increase in revenue and operating profit and the stock price didn’t stop them from laying off people. And while layoffs can sometimes be justified why are they so focused on important roles such as support engineers, developers, product owners, qa engineers, etc.? Laying off those that actually enable sales “because their jobs can easily be replaced with AI” and instead growing supporting functions such as HR, IT and legal is stupid not smart.

Agentic AI is still maturing. But it’s a trend that will continue. And it is a good development. We shouldn’t brush it off as a failure. How SAP navigates in the space remains to be seen. I personally think we should be making plans to acquire a larger prominent player in the AI space.

@as Some on this forum would say this is open to debate ;)

Well, it’s just a tool. What matters is how you use it.

And if there are already layoffs happening for this reason, then you know that AI is taking people’s jobs.

Speaking of lying, MAGA got their @$$€$ handed to them in the U.S. today.

If AI was that Bad SAP management would not have invested in it. They are not stupid, you know?
