When Companies Get 'AI-Pilled': Risks for Employees and Business

Friends, sharing an AI update: TechCrunch examined the “AI-pilled” effect and risks of automating without understanding team workflows.

- The gist: leaders, including Aaron Levie, warn of “AI psychosis” — replacing people with agents without grasping the tasks.
- Examples: ClickUp cut 22% of staff over AI agents; 2026 layoffs may match 2025 levels; DuckDuckGo installs rose as users reacted to forced AI in search.
- What to do: pilot automation, preserve team expertise, and roll out AI in stages.

Why it matters: rushed automation erodes product competence and team expertise.

How do you balance automation and human expertise?
