Technical debt and shadow AI is coming together in AI debt. It is necessary, particular when you innovate and experiment. It is the consequence of the speed at which AI is evolving.

Chatbots Are Rewriting What You Think About The Products You Buy
Computer scientists at the University of California San Diego have, for the first time, put hard numbers on something many researchers suspected but nobody had properly measured: large language models don’t just summarise information.
