> I think AI rescue consulting is going to be come a significant mode of high value consulting
I thought the same when I saw development outsourced to Indians that struggled to write a for loop.
I was wrong.
It turns out that customers will keep doubling down on mistakes until they’re out of funds, and then they’ll hire the cheapest consultants they can find to fix the mess with whatever spare change they can find under the couch cushions.
Source: being called in with a one week time budget to fix a mess built up over years and millions of dollars.
What happened after development was out sourced to Indians: developer salaries continued to rise much faster than general wages.
If you work like you're outsourcing to the worst consultancy firms, your use of AI will be ... pretty productive, actually.
