I have worked with old fashioned neural networks, deep learning, and now LLM-specific deep learning: wonderful technology, but over hyped, and advice to go a little slowly, with firm use cases that are financially viable is great advice!
A bunch of frivolous projects that fail sounds to me like a pretty good way to learn how far a new technology can be trusted.
If you're considering putting AI into something load bearing you either need a engineer who has not been participating so they can say "no" or one who has made 15 failed AI projects so they can say "maybe". The very worst case is to pressure somebody who doesn't know the technology very well into saying "yes".
Outside a small bubble within Silicon Valley and the finance ecosystem funding it, I’d say most folks are increasingly fed up with AI.
It’s a very noticeable shift these last 6 months. The mood went from excited, to just annoyed at all the slop and folks using AI as a half-baked easy button vs doing real deep value-add thought.
Business is also noticing that the ROI simply isn’t there and a lot written about this. That doesn’t bode well for AI providers that need to massively increase prices to make the math work on their business models.
The world inside of the AI bubble seems largely ignorant of the mood shift underway, which suggests interesting times are ahead.
Yea, currently the thinking seems to be, if we're spending money on tokens, the work is inherently worth it. However, this clearly cannot always be the case - one of the more difficult things I've worked on lately is tracking token usage to measurable work outputs, but measuring work output reliably is a notoriously difficult problem historically in tech, and opens a lot of uncomfortable conversations.

mid to large sized companies always had to man-power to produce anything they could imagine and AI is not going to change that.
what will change is that your paid product will become free because someone got annoyed at a bug with your paid product, remade it with AI and made it opensource or for a fraction of the price.
the floor has been raised while the ceiling will stay relatively the same, most medium to large companies were already hovering around the ceiling so at the end of the day the framework that these companies were built on is crumbling and that's what should make them afraid, not the fact that they're 'missing out' on AI.
The desperation for commodity services and second-tier products to stay relevant is widespread. See also intercom.com "The only helpdesk designed for the AI Agent era".
