I agree that financial viability is critical to the long-term prospects of a technology. It must deliver an ROI above other options. I'd recommend getting off the sidelines and jumping in to see what's happening. At the least, you'll have another perspective to inform your position. It's a pretty minimal investment to try it out.
You’re right to think that I probably do sound more like a cautious observer than I actually am. For what it’s worth, I’ve been experimenting with AI tools on the side (mostly in coding and writing workflows), and I’m planning to dive deeper soon, especially around integrating agents into my SaaS.
The post was more about the hype and attention surrounding AI, which can feel mentally exhausting at times, mostly because of how fast everything is moving. Not a complaint, really. If anything, that might be a good sign. I totally get why people are excited, it just takes effort to stay grounded in the middle of it all.
Appreciate the comment! Hopefully next time I’ll be jumping in with war stories instead of sideline takes.
