Businesses are clamoring to adopt AI, without really knowing what to do with it, according to speakers on a panel at last week's Canalys APAC Forum in Bangkok.

Ye Olde Worlde FOMO.

    How long is it going to take y’all to accept and realise nothing is as it used to be when you were so easily groomed to fight and fail catastrophically against invented phantom foe and hostile enemy alike, for everything has been changed, and now it is your turn in time and space to follow and answer to the beck and call of SMARTR IntelAIgent Machines ‽ .

    Or will wilful insane and manic denial prolong your sufferings with others amongst and presuming to lead you planning to create and deliver further daemons to aid and abet your sad and sorry decline towards increasingly rapidly approaching mass extinction events?

    WTFU. Smell the Coffee/Java/Cocoa. Enjoy their hits. NINJAs* Rule.

    "customers begin to realize [that a] quick fix will not solve deeper problems"

    Well, whaddya know ? Maybe some good will come from all this pseudo-AI malarky yet.

    Oh, and I really like : "Musker mused that AI's potential is limitless, but customers are focussed on trying to solve business problems".

    Gosh, ya think ?

      I'll agree with the part about customers. I think "AI's potential is limitless" is a bunch of hogwash.

    "Musker mused that AI's potential is limitless, but customers are focussed on trying to solve business problems."

    A beautiful, single-sentence summary of hype suddenly coming into contact with the real world.

    Something for all Naysayers to Ponder and Wonder if Valid and Honestly True.

    AI is certainly a strange type of hype whenever so many appear to be fearfully terrified of what it and its friends in IT can really do in worlds that can never themselves command and control it and have it doing their traditional hysterical hierarchical bidding.

    Methinks it safe to say here, to all of yous sitting over there on the other side of the Great Divider and AI Provider Fence, all here be fans of Musk RATs, exceedingly wealthy and fantastically popular Remote Access Trojans,
