   Good pull quote from this article:

   "Without taking my word for it, consider how it show up in the economics: If AI companies could deliver the productivity gains they claim, they wouldn’t sell AI. They’d keep it to themselves and gobble up the software industry."

     This is all because of an infuriating conversation with my single source of work these days:
     Them: "The client has 400 documents, and they want to be able to search them."
     Me: "No problem, I'll ingest the documents and apply a text search engine on them."
     Them: "No no, they want to use AI."
     Me: "So tell them we're using AI and we'll give them something that can actually do a real search."
     Them: "Unfortunately, it has to be a real AI."
