Yet another piece of rushed technology that's being heralded as "the way" which will most certainly be discarded when the next hype-able acronym comes along.
The only upside to these technologies being shotgun implemented and promoted is that they'll inevitably lead to a failure that can't be pushed under the rug (and will irreversibly damage the credibility of AI usage in business).

Okay and now what? Throwing out empty platitudes like this in the face of legitimate criticism is only going to expedite what I said above.
