Yet again, "high level" company employees/owners putting far too much faith in a new technology without understanding the abilities and limits of that technology or the people that need to operate it. "AI" is not a magic bullet that you just "uhh ai it bro" for a job. It takes time and effort to design systems around that and to build up the "agent" or how it can be interacted with. Maybe all of the hiring managers/bosses should respond to the memo saying "You are right CEO, we have determined that your job is no longer necessary".

Employees will be expected to prove why they “cannot get what they want done using AI” before asking for more headcount and resources, Lutke wrote in a memo to staffers that he posted to X on Monday. “What would this area look like if autonomous AI agents were already part of the team?” Lutke wrote in the memo, which was sent to employees late last month. “This question can lead to really fun discussions and projects.” Lutke also said there’s a “fundamental expectation” across Shopify that employees embrace AI in their daily work, saying it has been a “multiplier” of productivity for those who have used it.
