Amazon Just Proved AI Isn't The Answer Yet Again
https://www.planetearthandbeyond.co/p/amazon-just-proved-ai-isnt-the-answer?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web(www.planetearthandbeyond.co)A recent, prolonged AWS outage is attributed to Amazon's strategy of replacing skilled engineers with unreliable AI. The argument suggests that while the official cause was a DNS issue, the 16-hour resolution time points to an understaffed human team struggling to fix a problem that the replacement AI could not handle. This event is compared to the failure of Amazon's AI-powered "Just Walk Out" stores, which also proved too unreliable for practical use. The piece posits that the inherent issue of AI hallucinations makes the technology unfit for critical infrastructure, and Amazon's continued adoption could lead to more frequent, widespread outages.
