We already never really gave a shit at the companies I worked at so far. Bosses love spewing shit about AI, telling us to use it and find out more about it, especially coding AIs, but we often try them out for a bit with serious tasks then revert back to only ever using them for formatting or research assistance. My colleagues tried and failed several times to use them for tasks involving non-trivial logic and it never worked, even with paid Cursor or Gemini.
Comment on Data Shows That AI Use Is Now Declining at Large Companies

I predict that for a while, corporations will lie about using AI more than they actually do, just because it’s still being hyped. But then everyone will stop giving a fuck.

Can already confirm they are doing that.
The executives are building dog shit unrealizable tools right now that nobody uses. It’s purely for the stock holders.
We marked ourselves as “AI powered” . Nobody is using our AI tools after they go live. We can see the logs.

Well yeah, I guess I meant more that this trend is increasing.
Did using the buzzword help at all with shareholders or customers though?
Don’t even need to build them sometimes IMO. Friend pointed out that the excellent notetaking app she was using claimed to use AI and then she found this comment on reddit from one of the people behind it:
Everyone seems to be super happy with it as an AI auto-scheduler lol

It has helped a LOT with the stock price. With customers? Not even a little. We work with high end clients, customized solutions for every client. I can say without a shadow of a doubt that 100% of our clients have asked for us to remove the AI features.
LMAO so AI is just an IF statement.
