From experience, there are lots of companies looking precisely for an "AI person" who is going to use a bunch of complicated sounding buzzwords and build some overly complex thing without evaluating simpler options. This kind of person gets way more attention than someone who suggests that what the company wants to do can probably be accomplished with a simple shell script, or someone that tells them AI is not magic and in the absence of some data capturing a relationship it can't really do anything. It's a hyped up field and has attracted lots of people who care about hype. (I work in the field, not trying to denigrate it, my point is that many / most business adopters want "AI" for all the wrong reasons
