Big part of my annoyance is the term "AI" itself which you can say to mean anything, everything and nothing. It's something that's used to oversell/hype it to grab money.. which is fine. But if engineers like us can calm the crazy rhetoric down to "llms" or "text completion" "Image-gen api" that's already a leg up in thinking clearly. Like the question "is ai going to put people out of jobs" -> "is this new crazy good text completion model going to put people out of jobs" already gets us out of the weeds somewhat.

Pretty sure that's the point now.

You're selling a "solution" not a "product". So you don't want to market AI as some nice robot that can move car doors around. You want to market AI as a vibe that fixes enterprise problems. So now all the companies that want your AI both have to pay for AI and also your time to actually build a product for their problem.

Yeah its definition has been diluted to the point of useless now.
