"The real problem is the ROI on AI spending is.. pretty much zero. The commonly asserted use cases are the following: Chatbots Developer tools RAG/search"

I agree with you that ROI on _most_ AI spending is indeed poor, but AI is more than LLM's. Alas, what used to be called AI before the onset of the LLM era is not deemed sexy today, even though it can still make very good ROI when it is the appropriate tool for solving a problem.

AI is a term that changes year to year. I don't remember where I heard it but I like that definition that "as soon as computers can do it well it stops becoming AI and just becomes standard tech". Neural Networks were "AI" for a while - but if I use a NN for risk underwriting nobody will call that AI now. It is "just ML" and not exciting. Will AI = LLM forever now? If so what is the next round of advancements called?
