Plus just the general sentiment that you’re not businessing right if you don’t something something AI.

Feel my blood boiling at the very thought of people choosing to use something buzzwordy like blockchain or "AI", despite likely no competent person advising them to employ that, AND then trying to clean themselves of the responsibility when it misfires.

That's as if drunk driving leading to car crash was blamed on the air, because "having fun is not a crime".

Only with computing these people unironically think that nobody should be responsible, because everybody they respect is as clueless as themselves, so "nobody knows how it works, it's a frontier, see".
