Heard this analogy elsewhere, but worth repeating:

AI is like having the greatest developer who ever lived, but she is always on 4 beers.

I know of a publicly traded company which in its early years was built on beer. Literally. 3 guys in a co-working space in Cambridge, MA. Beer fueled their progress. 15 years later the software is still the backbone of the org.
