Pretty much the same time bomb around any proprietary software.
Comment on this is so dark, Black Mirror couldn’t have imagined it

Use this subsidized garage to churn out regular automation that you can maintain after the merry go round inevitably stops. I was told as much by Microsoft AI specialists themselves. Do not toss out working ci/cd processes in favor of putting a chatbot in the middle, because who knows if you’ll still be able to run that chatbot in a couple of years.

Years? Many models are gone in a few months. If you build 100 automations based on them, you need to upgrade and retest them constantly.
And most business processes are totally fine with a “If this, then that” logic. Companies work like that. The law kind of works like that. No need for expensive and problematic chatbots. Just automate based on simple if loops.

If people were looking at this rationally, they’d clearly see that AI is heavily subsidized and you can use the subsidized help to fix your broken shit without becoming completely dependent upon it being subsidized forever.

Yeah - those people investing trillions in AI companies and datacenters want to earn their trillions back with interest.
