With latest models, I see practical uses that I just can't un-see. It works too well. I'm almost tempted to start a business on my own to apply the amazing capabilities that these tools have to real world scenarios without the friction of enterprise environments. UX, wireframing, business analysis, security, development, testing... It is no longer a "joke" it is here and it works.
Advancements have made it impossible to ignore a lot of practical uses that do help. I agree that it can take some work and time to find how best it works for you, and managers seem to think it is as easy as a snap of your fingers.
The transition from on-premises to cloud was a slow burn that revealed massive hidden costs. AI is following the same path. While basic models offer a low entry point, true scaling requires heavy architectural and infrastructure investment. Once MS, AWS, and Google start upselling these additions on top of already expensive cloud commits, the total financial impact will be staggering.
I think that we are going to have to learn AI if we want to keep up with what is going on. AI is definitely here to stay. Best we get on board before we get left behind.
I’ve noticed the same trend. There’s excitement around AI, but often not enough time or training given to actually make it work well.
