"pay off", hmmmmmm, I can suggest that electricty brokers who hold nvidia stock may have differing views on the subject of AI paying off, which the last thing there going to do, is talk about, though even the strongest willed amongst them must be getting a certain reputation for suddenly starting to giggle, for no aparent reason

I have tried to use AI as an employee and unless you babysit it and deconstruct task for it on small pieces, it does not work. I guess all those companies pouring billions into it never tested what current AI is capable of and how it compares to average developer. It just does not work.

There is a reason why all those AI success stories are written by developers not by CEOs/Middle managers - you really need to know what you are trying to achieve and know steps in advance, AI then can get there faster. But that's all.

At this point, we are in the middle of a field, digging in a ground and hoping that we are going to struck a gold - replacing employees with computers. Any minute now... Keep digging guys...
