The TRUTH About AI I Learned from 12 Years at Amazon

Описание: In this no-BS episode of The ARQIV, we rip the gloss off the AI hype machine and expose what’s really happening inside Big Tech companies like Amazon when it comes to artificial intelligence and automation.

After spending 12 years inside Amazon — including 4 years as a senior product manager — I saw firsthand how AI is actually impacting jobs, productivity, and corporate decision-making from the inside. Spoiler: It’s not what you think.

Forget the media spin. This episode is the inside story of:

How Amazon burned millions building duplicate tools — because of organizational amnesia

Why AI didn’t replace anyone... but did save the sanity of overwhelmed employees

The fantasy vs. reality of internal AI rollouts using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)

The terrifying problem of AI confidently hallucinating false data — and why this could cost companies millions

The rise of “personal RAGs” and how YOU can build one to level up your workflow

The deep flaws in LLMs: why they lie, hallucinate, and cannot be trusted with high-stakes tasks

What every knowledge worker MUST know about the Gartner Hype Cycle and the Trough of Disillusionment

The shift from being a “writer” to being an “Editor-in-Chief” — and why that mindset is your secret weapon

Real-world use cases of Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini — and which ones I trust (and which I definitely don’t)

Why AGI is mostly hype — and why being a strategic thinker is now more valuable than ever

This episode answers the real question: Is AI going to take your job?

The truth is nuanced. AI is not replacing full roles at companies like Amazon — yet. What it’s doing is atomizing tasks and increasing the pressure on humans to operate faster, smarter, and more strategically. If your job is repetitive, you might be in trouble. But if you’re ready to adapt and lead, this is your moment.

Whether you’re a product manager, engineer, startup founder, or just trying to figure out how to survive this AI wave — this episode will give you real-world insight into what’s working, what’s broken, and what comes next.
