Executives, senior leadership, middle management trying to please leadership, engineers trying to get promoted... everyone has been whipped into a frenzy.
I sat through a two day (all day) "retreat" (conference room in our regular office) where people tripped over themselves to present their teams innovative AI ideas to leadership.

But ofc I end up taking Computer Science in college right when Tech is blowing up (I really just looked at STEM fields and picked the best engineering I saw in each college. I coulda easily been a mechanical or electrical engineer if I wasn't accepted at the school I went to) so I end up seeing all sorts of booms and busts. mobile, cloud, data science, ML. Now AI. I just wanna make pretty graphics go fast. I don't need to turn everything into a cloud based app with an LLM attached to it.

This is partly because it needs to output reliable well-structured data for downstream integrations.
