The entire GenAI industry only keeps its valuations afloat through breathless hype. AI can't just be a thing that a computer does - it has to be the future, the thing that changes everything. (Studies show a whopping 3% productivity impact overall from adopting these tools).

"But it's early days!" you say. This is the true power of AI - not technological, but rhetorical. Almost all conversations about it are about what executives are *saying* it will do one day or *expecting* it to do at some point, rather than what we actually observe the tools doing.

We are told to simultaneously believe AI is so "early days" as to excuse any lack of real usefulness, and that it is so established - "too big to fail" - that we are not permitted to imagine a future without it. And since they can't deliver, they have to keep making the promise - the FOMO - bigger.
