Yes, but not the way you are thinking.

My prior job was for a group within a large company who were early into going "All in" on AI. They insisted that we move our products towards AI, that everyone use AI for all the things, etc. It did not go well. At all. All the management above us got fired. I've never before seen an entire executive team all fired at the same time. Then they fired us, too. The handful people who were left went back to their pre-AI product strategies, recovered, and are running just fine now.

Do you think they will be implementing AI again anytime soon? haha.

What were the primary factors? Costs, personnel tracking, hallucinations, speed of delivery, or other?
