I work for a software and DevOps consultancy firm, which means that I get an assignment to build software for one of my company's customers. (I'm on a US DOD cybersecurity contract).
I'm sitting in the monthly All-Hands meeting, and I had to turn off my camera, because I didn't want everyone to see how much I'm rolling my eyes right now.
Our Chief Digital Officer says that a recent MIT study shows that only 5% of new software projects built on AI actually make it to market. And that's why we have to go all in on AI to fill that market gap where others are failing.
He also started by saying that as we move towards AI-focused work, we're doing so to "distinguish ourselves". Yeah. We're going to "distinguish ourselves" by jumping into the bandwagon that everyone else is jumping into.
