> Pointless is increasingly becoming the word I use for AI I had assumed it was the Deepseek phenomenon that has prompted the reduction in planned data center capacity - the realization that we can do more with less - rather than this article's assertion that AI in business is "pointless". The fact that there is a widespread failure by business managers to formulate visions and strategies around AI adoption is no surprise whatsoever. Of course there will be much disruption and businesses that don't adapt will die off. I think the article also betrays an ingrained skepticism about AI amongst some traditional IT folks, a skepticism that is also observable in HN discussions. Perhaps from a fear of being made redundant? My opinion is that for techies there are more opportunities in AI disruption than threats.
