Yes, people worrying about AI when the gain from computers still isn't really here yet.
In Europe, there is still a massive reluctance to hire programmers. So most large corporates/governments are buying from Oracle or SAP, get in an Indian contractor to implement, it inevitably goes wrong, and then they say how unreasonably expensive it all is...and it would be even more expensive if they hired onshore.
And then you talk to the person who is managing the contract for the purchaser...struggles with Excel, struggles with basic tasks in Windows...I am sure this happens in the US too btw, but it is just unreasonably extreme in Europe. The dominance of SAP in particular is an indication that something is very wrong with enterprise software.
