95 per cent of organisations are getting zero return from AI according to MIT - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44956648 - August 2025

> Despite $30–40 billion in enterprise investment into GenAI, this report uncovers a surprising result in that 95% of organizations are getting zero return. The outcomes are so starkly divided across both buyers (enterprises, mid-market, SMBs) and builders (startups, vendors, consultancies) that we call it the GenAI Divide. Just 5% of integrated AI pilots are extracting millions in value, while the vast majority remain stuck with no measurable P&L impact. This divide does not seem to be driven by model quality or regulation, but seems to be determined by approach.

This is not new - the quote was "87% of data science projects fail" in 2019.

GenAI is barely out of the research phase and is only now being fine-tuned for specific applications. Check back in 3 years.

Hasn't e.g. Deepseek been releasing special coder llms for like two years now?

That's still cutting edge research, not a polished product for a well understood domain. These are like the first steam engines, not a Ferrari.
