I find it quite annoying because for every company that is doing something where AI would actually be useful, there are 10 that are shoving it into their existing app in some capacity to make their software "AI Powered". A perfect example of this is my company recently evaluated Zenhub. Their sales team was very eager to point out that their app was using AI though when we actually looked, all it did was generate story descriptions from a prompt, the most basic of AI integrations.
AI is very useful but my god not everything needs to have it baked in.
Honorable mention to the IoT, SmartHome, ConnectedHome and other old hypes which we all forgot. May be, SmartHome will become an actual reality, if we can somehow get the LLMs to make autonomous decisions to keep a house maintained and comfy.
Then there is the AI bloatware [2] in your operating system that pinky promises it wont spy one you, even as it is becoming harder and harder to turn off.
