Is #AI a "massive disappointment"? Dissecting the WRITER 2026 report on #EnterpriseAI. #Automation #AIAgents #Strategy #BusinessAutomation.
In this episode of AI Automation Dojo, Andrzej Kinastowski takes a "katana" to a glossy 36-page report on AI adoption. While the document looks professional with its expensive gradients, it reads more like a horror novel where nearly half of executives (48%) admit that AI adoption at their company has been a "massive disappointment".

We analyze data from the companies supposedly "winning" the AI race, only to find that 75% of their strategies are "more for show", essentially a LinkedIn post wearing a trench coat. We dive into the corporate paradox where 69% of companies are cutting staff based on the promise of AI productivity, while 39% admit they have no formal plan for how that AI will actually generate revenue.
What you will learn in this episode:
🔸 Why satisfaction with AI tools dropped across every single dimension measured this year.
🔸 The rise of "AI sabotage"- why 44% of Gen Z employees are intentionally feeding garbage to models.
🔸 Why 75% of employees would trust an algorithm more than their own manager for work tasks.
🔸 The risk of promoting AI to the C-suite when one in three leaders isn't sure they could "pull the plug" if things went wrong.
🔸 How to stop "automating vibes" and start tying AI to measurable business outcomes.
Instead of chasing sci-fi hype, we discuss the unglamorous but essential recipe for success: fixing processes before automating them, governing without strangling innovation, and keeping a Human-in-the-Loop on the kill switch.
Don’t be next year’s cautionary statistic.
