Leaders say "I use AI all day every day, but I'm not seeing much change in the team." Adoption stalls inside teams.
- CEOs and CTOs adopt AI fast because nobody asks them to justify trying something new, and they have delegated for years.
- Inside teams, plausible output is hard to evaluate until too late. People get burned once or twice and stop experimenting.
- Strong CI/CD and testing give fast feedback, so people can absorb the mistakes that come with learning.
