More than half of those vendors did not survive.

Vendors are pushing AI hard right now because companies need to recoup their investments and pay the bills. CEO's are eating it up because they see dollar signs in the reduction of employee's. I've played around with AI, its a very useful tool, however, and this will sound cliche, it doesn't think outside the box. To jump from one data stream to another or figure out how to merge two or more data streams together, etc. it can't do. You still need a human.

Of course the problem with these bubbles, it can take a few years for it to come crashing down. Meanwhile the rest of us suffer.
