I've seen the books as to how much we spend on all the various AI shit. I can guarantee, that at least in our co, that AI is a massive waste of money.

But it doesn't really matter, because the C-level has been consumed by the hype like nothing I've ever seen. It could cost an arm and a leg and they'd still be pushing for it because the bubble is all-consuming, and anyone not touting AI use doesn't get funding from other similarly clueless and sucked-in VCs.
