What do you think of AI right now? Is it any good at all?

Lazy CEOs love to embrace whatever is the focus of hype at the time. When I was at the pump seal company, 45 years ago, they weren't competitive in the ANSI/API space they were in, so management declared they were going "high tech", to evade competition, even though they did not have the engineering or production capability to produce higher performance seals. Home builders and automakers, have embraced "going up market". I can see AI replacing a lot of "knowledge workers" and middle management, if it's cost effective, but top management will hype any use of AI as an end in itself, to try to hitch a ride on the hype train.
