Simple fact: AI is extremely powerful, in the hands of experts who invested time in deeply understanding it, and in understanding how to actually use it well. Who are then willing to commit more time to build an actually sustainable solution.

Alas, many members of the C suite do not exactly fit that description. They just have typed in a prompt or three, marveled that a computer can reply, and fantasize that it's basically a human replacement.

There are going to be a lot of (figurative, incorporated) dead bodies on the floor. But there will also be a few winners who actually understood what they were doing, and the wins will be massive. Same as it was post dot-com.
