If AI can't find its market (which for all the hype it hasn't thus far), then yes. Alternatively AI finds its market and it just becomes a norm that's expected so no one will mention it at all

if AI can’t find its market (which for all the hype it hasn’t thus far)

AIs market is every market, which is why it seems like AI isn't "doing much." The primary benefit of AI in its current form is finding and driving efficiencies.

It's much more like the internet in the early 90s than it is the block chain. AI hasn't had its "dot com bubble" begin yet, because right now it's all targeted services.

AIs market is every market

no, it's every market when it's actually a part of those markets, delivering value and funding itself. It is not doing that today. It may do that tomorrow, but not today.

Today AI is in the investor-funded, throw everything against the wall stage. the hope is that something will stick and become what drives that industry in the future. It hasn't found that yet. AI could vanish tomorrow and no one would notice.

It is not doing that today.

It is absolutely doing that today. From medicine to fucking call center QA.

That you don't know about it is further evidence of my claim - AI is currently being leveraged within existing toolsets that you also do not know about.

One Verint system can do the jobs of multiple QA professionals while also handling WFM tasks that previously required 1-3 more jobs, all of which are innately high-paying due to being so specialized.

I use Synthesia every day to make training content (well, my intern does, but still). This content would take a minimum of 4 people to produce without the existing software. I know because we considered building that team and went with Synthesia instead. These aren't plugs either - there are competitors to both of the above that are continuing to push features forward.

AI is absolutely paying for itself.
