This is so spot on. I use AI all the time, but the hype and “we should AI all the things” is ridiculous.
I blame it on bullshit jobs. Too many people have to come up with weekly nonsense busywork tasks just to justify themselves. Also the usual FOMO. “Guys, we can’t fall behind the competition on this!”

If you don’t pay your monthly vacuum fee, Hoover will turn it off remotely.
