    It feels like every CEO on earth thinks they need to adopt AI or fall behind, but they have no idea what to use AI for so they’re just ramming it into use cases that no one asked for.

      Your not wromg. The investors class want ai because that is what they belive will be the future. If the ceos don’t add then the investors pull out. Even when most feedback is negative, even woth ai companies saying they don’t have a path to profitability

      I’m in tech, and yeah, while we actually do have a couple helpful (nothing revolutionary, just smoothes over some of the drudge work) use cases for Gen AI, we identified those use cases pretty quick and leadership’s been grasping for more ever since.

        just regular spoiled and power-mad shmucks

        FTFY. To call them “regular” belies the fact that suffusion of money and the power over the wellbeing of others has, universally, rotted their humanity from the inside out, making it impossible for them to even imagine — let alone successfully predict — what a “regular” shmuck would consider a reasonable use-case for AI.
