Dear software testers, is your critical thinking ability even alive?!

So many testers use AI in their work without considering the opportunity cost and the downsides. It drives me mad.

Even though I quite like the sentiment, I'd drill down into subconscious of people whom this article addressed -- ai-testers. What drives them to dive head-first into ai? Clearly, it's bosses and capitalism

Now that we see actual beneficiaries, let's see how can we communicate our message with the language they understand: risk&reward

Some questions for the biz folks to ponder:

• Chances are your business will take loan to sponsor the ai hype. AI development has no collateral to pawn. So all the risk will be taken by your company's assets.

• The loan is going to have quite steep interest rate due to inflationary period we're in right now

• AI is not cheap, it's $millions. Can your company absorb the fall of this magnitude?
