Strong agree with the premises of the article: I like the framing that the AI hype-masters are successful because they instill a fear of missing out in corporate leaders.

I have worked with old fashioned neural networks, deep learning, and now LLM-specific deep learning: wonderful technology, but over hyped, and advice to go a little slowly, with firm use cases that are financially viable is great advice!

>>“… wonders why people aren't more annoyed with AI companies “

Outside a small bubble within Silicon Valley and the finance ecosystem funding it, I’d say most folks are increasingly fed up with AI.

It’s a very noticeable shift these last 6 months. The mood went from excited, to just annoyed at all the slop and folks using AI as a half-baked easy button vs doing real deep value-add thought.

Business is also noticing that the ROI simply isn’t there and a lot written about this. That doesn’t bode well for AI providers that need to massively increase prices to make the math work on their business models.

The world inside of the AI bubble seems largely ignorant of the mood shift underway, which suggests interesting times are ahead.

Agreed. This place is legit delululand.

I speak to people who work at the upper echelons across various industries regularly and whether you want to believe it or not idc - the management are desperately trying to push AI but it just doesn’t add much value to what they do. At best it’s just a really good search engine across internal data. Many of these places already had things called macros in place so there’s barely any value add.

It took the desktop computer revolution about two decades to show up in productivity statistics. Itt takes time to adapt.

Even within SV there are still luddites who sometimes type out code, in mid 2026!!!
