No it's not. It's because management is tone deaf and out of touch. They'll latch onto literally anything put in front of them as a way out of their inability to iterate and innovate on their products.

Throwing "ai" into it is a simple addition, if it works, great, if it doesn't well the market just wasn't ready.

But if they have to actually talk to their users and solve their real problems that's a really hard pill to swallow, extremely hard to solve correctly, and basically impossible to sell to shareholders because you likely have to explain that your last 50 ideas and the tech debt they created are the problem that needs to be excised.

Today it is AI. Yesterday it was Blockchain.

Tomorrow it will be Agentic AI Blockchains.

I know what you are thinking: robots are coming for our jobs after that. Don't worry! Those AI robots will run on the Cloud.

No. The VR revolution will never come.

It also looks really appealing to do tasks you have a very shallow and dismissive opinion of. For example, a lot of managers and c-level sorts seem to think it will replace developers. I think it would be great at summarizing and passing up reports and generating plausible looking meaningless text—so, it looks like it could do most management type jobs, to me.

But, I must try to have a little bit of self awareness here: if we all think it can do the jobs we don’t understand and don’t think it can do the job we’ve got experience in, then maybe that just indicates that it isn’t really very good at anything yet.
