We can’t, because generative models are the current hotness and must be shoved into everything for company valuations to go up. That’s not sarcasm, either. This is quite literally how company leadership and governance/Boards function. There’s such immense pressure on “following the market” in an attempt to capture actual growth (as opposed to growth-by-inflation or growth-by-margin) that Boards will toss out executives who don’t adopt or sell these products because they perceive it as failing to adjust to shifting market conditions. It also doesn’t help that the typical company executive is also on a Board of other companies, creating a conflict of interest in all but the most legal of contexts. Remember that we - the typical HNews/Slashdot/Reddit/Engineer/Developer crowd - are not who these companies are marketing to. They’re marketing to C-Suites, and those types don’t care how the sausage is made so much as they care about being able to tell the Board or shareholders how the company is leveraging the latest product fad.
