My wife just hit similar, Google AI result invented a dish that didn’t actually exist for a local restaurant. She was half ready to go until she went to the actual menu and figured out the described food didn’t exist.

My brother in Christ, they’re giving running away for free out on the sidewalk.

Your not wromg. The investors class want ai because that is what they belive will be the future. If the ceos don’t add then the investors pull out. Even when most feedback is negative, even woth ai companies saying they don’t have a path to profitability

I’m in tech, and yeah, while we actually do have a couple helpful (nothing revolutionary, just smoothes over some of the drudge work) use cases for Gen AI, we identified those use cases pretty quick and leadership’s been grasping for more ever since.

I was sitting in a meeting yesterday that basically was exactly this.

So yes. very much.

This is hardly the first, and definitely not the last corporate fad. We should have just about finished moving everything to the block chain by now.

It’s almost as if CEOs are just regular schmucks that fall prey to BS advertising.

Because the places that already had AI before the recent surge just called it something else.
