As someone with a huge intrest in machine learning, it kinda pains me to see all this empty hype. All the buzzword fetishists seem to have picked AI as their next big thing, without properly understanding what it does. Most businesses don't need AI. For them it'd be a huge money and time sink. They could maybe benefit from existing tools like Copilot or ChatGPT, but they don't need their own AI features in their apps. Once their post-nut clarity kicks in and they find out how much money they've wasted on something that was barely useful to their products, they'll probably start hating AI for their own mistakes.
AI/ML is a very cool and useful tool. But most products don't need AI currently. It's not worth it in most cases, appart from maybe using off-the-shelf solutions that are easily Integrated.
