You will never hear from the people who want AI writing or AI art or AI customer support or AI search results *for themselves* - because they already got it and they are happy. The people trying to convince you that their AI slop is indistinguishable from the genuine article are doing *marketing.*

If it was TRUE then it wouldn't need marketing. It would be self-evident. Companies would suddenly report cost savings without anybody on the consumer side noticing that anything happened. No one had to say "hosting our shit in the cloud is just as good as on-premise servers." It was obvious!

The cloud had a ready market: companies with irregular workloads who needed to be able to rent someone else's computer. The market for AI is much trickier because a slop machine is only valuable if you can get people to buy that slop from you. Which is impossible as long as there are alternatives.

ehhh lots of orgs really do stick with shitty old processes and systems/tech and wait for someone to sell them something better I'm not talking about COBOL, but things like old computer systems that don't even have support for new product specs so the new stuff is handled by hand

i despise genai and i agree with your general sentiment but this hyperbole is a ballooning a bit much. the top 3 cloud hyperscalers employ tens of thousands of people whose entire job is to sell the cloud. they have done so for over a decade. cloud does not sell itself.
