On: Sorry, but the ROI on enterprise AI is abysmal

[bloedsinnig]

It doesn't has to be good yet.

We just started adding AI to every aspect of products. Things like this takes time.

And in my company it adds already value. In another company we can now do tasks we were unable to do before. It increases data quality by a relevant amount. Hard to determine a ROI for things like this.

Given the amount of money being pumped into it, it has a pretty short expected lifespan if it doesn't get good fast. Promises of jam tomorrow will only go so far.

What we do right now is to introduce it to the whole ecosystem. This costs money.

AI / ml will not go away anymore.

And the money we pumpe into it? Doesn't matter. Our tech companies and VCs have enough money to pump into

chicken and egg.

You need people to use it to have value. It needs to have value for people to use it.

The use/value proposition will tilt towards it as a generation turns over from people who grew up with search to people who grew up with chat.

Suddenly itll be a commoditized free feature, that if you dont offer it, people will go work somewhere else that embraces. Give it time.

There is no possible way that the current level of money-burning can be sustained for anything _like_ that long. I'd say if major players don't start showing a profit on this stuff within a year or so, the bubble will become unsustainable.
