It's ain't over yet --- but the vendors are beginning to chart a course toward reality. But hang on to your wallet, you ain't seen nothing yet.

An issue with the big commercial AI vendors is that they try to encompass *everything* --- with a price to match.

Most businesses don't really care about *everything*. What they want instead is expertise in a specific, niche area.

I think the real market will be for a cheaper, more focused approach.
