AI PCs are ready to work but most employees aren't ready to lead them. Here's the real reason adoption is stalling.

What’s stopping AI PC adoption? Intel explains. | Windows Central share.google/rhk7W1M810FP6D…

The AI PC revolution isn’t failing because of hardware. It’s failing because our workforce was never built to command machines. 🧵
(1/13)

Intel blames a “training gap.” But most workers were trained to follow rules, not direct autonomous systems. (2/13)

Prompting AI is not clerical. It requires judgment, abstraction, and the ability to turn vague goals into executable language. (3/13)

These are not common skills. They're rare. And most of today’s workforce was never expected to develop them. (4/13)

Modern office work rewards obedience, not initiative. Now we expect order-takers to become system architects overnight. (5/13)

The Copilot fantasy is elegant—an assistant that finishes your thoughts. But most workers can’t even express those thoughts clearly. (6/13)

Middle managers are no better. Risk-averse and procedural, they fear change and outsource judgment to forms and workflows. (7/13)

The deeper issue is cultural. We've spent decades eliminating initiative from the workplace. AI exposes that void. (8/13)

AI PCs assume users who are literate, decisive, and intentional. What we have is a bureaucracy fluent only in interface. (9/13)

Executives hope AI will unlock productivity. But it can’t amplify what isn’t there. It only reveals how much has withered. (10/13)

Real adoption means building AI that works like a trusted aide. Not a software upgrade, but a capable, listening presence. (11/13)

Let users speak plainly. Let machines act with clarity. Until then, AI PCs will remain misunderstood and unused. (12/13)

The hardware is here. The software works. But the collapse of human initiative is the real bottleneck, and no one wants to say it. (13/13)
