I’ve seen comments on other threads on this subject the general idea that these article headlines are overstating the pullback from AI.

In other words, the news cycle is looking for an AI story that lands with readers, and that the example of Uber blowing through its AI budget and Microsoft discontinuing use of Claude internally are not good indicators.

I agree that those aren’t good indicators.

However, at some point we have to remember that CEOs and boards of directors are just regular morons who read the news the same way everyone else does.

At some point, if a lot of corporate leaders associate AI with mediocre results, high costs, and public backlash, they might just start saying “this juice isn’t worth the squeeze.”
