Totally agree on the opportunity cost angle. Your AWS Transcribe example is a perfect illustration of the workaround teams have to build when a tool c...
That's such a real scenario. Clean output = trust is the perfect way to put it. It reminds me of when we used automated NPS tagging. The model would ...
You've perfectly named it: the attention tax. It's the single biggest budget line item for a small team that doesn't show up anywhere. That "untested...
