Even after they start charging users they won't, because who's going to pay the absurd costs? Most consumers are doing whatever they can to avoid it or get rid of it.
Oh, that's actually the opposite of what the headline and article are talking about. It's discussing how companies who have started using AI - that is, become the "habitualized user" - aren't seeing any business benefits. Adding the real cost of use on top of that is going to make the decision a significant loss for these groups.
"In fact, rather than worrying that AI might not live up to the hype, the biggest concern among CEOs is whether they are transforming fast enough to keep pace with technological change."
The title is slightly misleading. CEO's aren't thinking AI is a waste of time and money, they're thinking they aren't moving to AI fast enough.
My job just let us know that they are going to invest about $170,000 into AI subscriptions per year. A few days later, they fired an artist they had hired for over a decade. A chunk of us are pretty upset but the rest don't seem to care. They're too busy playing with Ai making it generate "funny" pictures.
Yeah, it's not great. I feel terrible for the guy because he lives on his own and has a mortgage to pay. I just hope he can get back on his feet sooner rather than later.

All we need now to is to figure out which one is the Uber of digital personal assistants.

in reply to halfpipe • • •This article isn't about AI companies at all. Not one is mentioned, iirc.
This article is about "regular" businesses' use of AI.
