The vibe I get from talking to my CTO and other C-suites who do nothing but talk about AI incessantly is that all the other C-suite buddies of theirs are saying "This AI thing is really blowing up, we need to jump on that!!!", which then means they dedicate entire teams to making some shitty chatbot or whatever so that they can slap the "AI" label somewhere on the marketing page.

No shits are given for actual usefulness or if it even makes any sense for the product at hand to have some sort of LLM functionality built into it. Why would they care? Their investors want AI, so AI we build.

An absolute circus
