Simple is a scam – NO Complexity
As humans, we try to simplify the world around us. We love to think in simple casual relationships, like “A caused B which caused C”, because we are able to understand cause and effects without much energy spent on thinking and analysing. But the world is not simple. The world is non-linear. There is seldom a single cause for things.
Most relations are non linear and not simple to understand. We need tools for analysing and understanding these kinds of relations.
Think about it: There are a lot of similarities between IT companies that promise simple IT solutions with criminals and fraudsters that offer ‘Get-rich-quick’ schemes. Like new crypto coins, time sharing property, startup stocks etc.
So simple solutions for complex business problems must always be treated with the cynicism it deserves. There are no simple solutions to IT without drawbacks.
But be aware: Some hard and complex problems that were impossible to solve with the use of traditional software IT technologies can now be solved with the use of AI/ML technology. However complex business IT problems seldom fall into this domain!
