TLDR : AI has led to reasonable revenue growth for a few companies that are pioneering in AI, but no broader economic growth or productivity gains.

Tech's hottest industry is facing a brutal reality check. That's a good thing in the long run.

AI companies have set unbelievable records for rapid growth in ARR, but these companies have equally astonishing churn rates.

This #AI report caused stocks to drop this week. Learnings & takeaways:

- Buying tools is better than in-house apps
- Back office automation most successful; most companies focus on sales and marketing.
- managers should drive adoption, not an AI group

If the "productivity paradox" of the 90's is any guide, we should start to see AI impacting productivity numbers in about 10 years. So not seeing AI "pay off" yet should not come as a surprise.

I don't think Hinton is ever going to live down saying “stop training radiologists”...

But at least in this article he shows some contrition and acknowledges that he underestimated what radiologists do with their time.
