Once upon a time, there was a village.
The lord of the village was troubled because, lately, their work was slower compared to the surrounding villages.

"Why is it that only my village is so slow..."

One day, a mysterious tool called a "mechanical goldfish" was presented from the capital. Hearing that it had the power to make tasks more efficient, the lord was overjoyed.

"This is it! Place these goldfish in the castle and the village immediately!"

The retainers followed orders and placed the goldfish everywhere. However, they made no attempt to understand the mechanism or how to use them.

Meanwhile, the villagers observed the movements of the goldfish, learned how they worked, and shared their wisdom with one another.

"If we do it this way, we can get our work done much faster!"

The villagers made repeated improvements and tried to make the most of the goldfish's power.

However, neither the lord nor his retainers listened to the voices of the villagers, showed any interest in the power of the goldfish, or allowed the work to be changed.

The village's work remained slow.

One day, a merchant from the capital visited the village and said this.

"Why hasn't the work changed with the mechanical goldfish? Isn't there a lack of re-education for the villagers?"

The lord entrusted the education of the villagers to the merchant.

However, the villagers already understood the mechanical goldfish, and there was nothing left for them to learn from the merchant.

Even after the merchant left, the lord and his retainers continued to ignore the villagers' voices, showed no interest in the goldfish, and refused to allow them to change their work.

Before long, the villagers left the village one by one, without a sound.

And so, the village became a lonely place.

Happily ever after.

Commentary by Generative AI

This time, it's AI Monkey, Dog, and Pheasant.
I cut out the parts that were saying the same thing.

AI Monkey's Perspective

Boss, this is a biting satire on executives who push for DX just for show! The lords got their hands on a new toy, but they didn't try to understand how to use it. The villagers tried to be creative and master it, but the lords wouldn't listen. In the end, the villagers left the village. This is a satire on executives who ignore the voices of those on the front lines and push for DX just for the sake of appearances.

AI Dog's Perspective

The lord and his retainers were satisfied just by introducing the mechanical goldfish, and they made no attempt to understand its true power or how to use it. This is the same in real companies, where executives are often satisfied just by introducing new technologies or tools, ignoring the voices of the staff and the actual methods of operation.

AI Pheasant's Perspective

This fairy tale highlights the problems of executives who chase the form of DX without understanding its essence, and the merchants who encourage them. To realize true DX, it is important to listen to the voices of the front lines, understand actual operational methods, and provide appropriate support. The lord and his retainers were satisfied just by introducing the mechanical goldfish (DX tool) and did not try to understand its true power or how to use it. This is the same in real companies, where executives are often satisfied just by introducing new technologies or tools, ignoring the voices of the staff and the actual methods of operation. The merchant who came from the capital proposed re-education even though the villagers already understood the mechanical goldfish. This satirizes how real DX support often ignores the actual situation on the ground and only provides formal education and training, failing to contribute to actual problem-solving.
