Thinking Fast Without the Slow

Dev.to AI
Generative AI AI Tools

A product owner asks the company's AI assistant whether they should enter a new market. The AI returns a thorough analysis: market size, competitor landscape, growth projections, risk factors. It recommends entering. The report is well-structured, the language confident, the reasoning apparently sound. The board approves the expansion. Six months and a significant investment later, the venture fails. A consultant brought in for the post-mortem discovers something subtle. The AI never actually evaluated whether the company should enter the market.
