It really is concerning. I keep an excel sheet with links of all companies I could apply to whenever i change jobs, and checking it the other day practically every row was now selling an ai product.

I just went through the job hunt circuit and honestly while many companies do have some AI thing they're selling, for the actual day-to-day work and what most teams are working on, there's barely any mention of AI. It seems mostly marketing people and non-technical management cares, the devs I've spoken to in my interviews have not cared about AI much at all, and I had interviews with some large, influential companies.
