So many people determined to get on the bandwagon--without considering whether they gain by doing so. The only time I've seen an AI that was actually of some use is Amazon's customer service bot. Basically everything it said was at least somewhat wrong, and it took considerably longer than a human would have. Their time saved, not total time saved.

>"Lest we forget, MIT’s The GenAI Divide: State of AI in Business 2025 study found that 95% of AI projects fail to deliver measurable P&L impact." Well we can pretty much ignore this after that line. It's completely meaningless to still be discussing AI capabilities pre-Claude Code and Opus 4.5.
