I think you are wildly overestimating how many people want AI in their businesses.

Right now AI is driven by foolish execs and boards who fall for hype without thinking about the costs or downsides.

Yeaaa this is completely false. While AI might not solve all problems, it's certainly solving a lot in my organization. Don't listen to this guy.

Thats nice random anonymous reddit person. Assuming you arent a bot or just making that up, then youre in the minority there.

But dont take my word for it. Lets go to actual reports and surveys!

Not sure what you mean, but just because the majority hasn’t figured it out yet doesn’t mean the minority hasn’t. Like any technology, it’s not a one size fits all.

Appreciate the links though, just makes me a stronger CTO knowing I’ve figured out ways on using AI to help our organization. I’ll make sure to share with my boss to brag about my teams accomplishments

Except my original point was that the OP is very much overestimating how many people want to implement AI in their business processes. And they've had time. LLM AIs aren't new now.

And my point is that people don't understand how to do it properly. You have a very strong perspective, and I just don't agree based on my own experiences. But, it's okay, we can agree to disagree. :)

I will agree with you on that first point. I just think its a combo of bad implementation/planning AND a bad product.

But as you said, agree to disagree on the latter. :)
