Developer argues some companies are succumbing to AI hype and making distorted strategic decisions around automation

A social post from Mitchell Hashimoto warns that some organizations may be operating under what he calls AI psychosis, treating AI as an all-consuming mandate rather than a tool. The brief post reflects growing skepticism among technologists about companies reorganizing products, teams, and strategy around poorly defined AI goals.

The comment captures a broader backlash to indiscriminate AI adoption, especially where executive urgency outpaces clear use cases or measurable returns. As the market matures, companies may face pressure to shift from hype-driven initiatives toward practical AI deployments tied to productivity, customer value, and governance.
