The weird thing to me is: usually new stuff in IT (at least with most of my customers) is usually treated with “why should we change, it always worked the way we do it now and have been doing it for 20+ years”. Adoption of new tech is slow and rare.

But AI/LLM crap just went in and everyone wants it. Partially because just “playing around” with it is fun for most people (“Hey AI, make a picture of me, but like Conan and I stand on the white house with sword in hand and victorypose”) and “if it makes fun stuff this easy, how easy will new stuff be?”
