Everyone's raving about the 'AI insights' feature. I've run it on our pipelines for weeks.

It's not analyzing anything. It's just filtering logs and metrics you already have.
* "High failure rate on Node 18" - Yeah, because we filter for that exact version in the dashboard.
* "Deployments are slower on Tuesdays" - That's the day we run full integration suites. It's scheduled.
* "This step has high variability" - It's a third-party API call. We know.

It finds correlations, not root causes. It's a fancy grep with a chart. You still need to dig into the actual failure yourself.

Don't rely on it to tell you anything you didn't already instrument for. It's a dashboard, not an engineer.
