The smart move would have been to get lower level managers to assign specific employees to experiment with applying LLMs to their processes and report back. Then incorpoate the findings into their processes.
Instead there was FOMO mass hysteria. Now there is a backlash. And a lot of time and money wasted.
Letting everybody freely experiment for a while is much more effective than appointing somebody to do just that.
Freely experiment sure. But you're not doing an effective experiment if you tell people they'll be graded on how many tokens they use.
