Every CEO and CTO have to be seen to be incorporating AI or else they will lose their jobs. Just like Blockchain a few years ago.

That's hogwash. I've seen in person quite a few successfully implemented LLM backed process automation projects that actually produce better KPIs than the human powered chain that came before.

How many successful, value-add block chain implementation projects have there been? Has there even been a single one?

Whats your metric for "Successful, value add" because I get the distinct impression that you are poised to disregard anything from the space.

Also, nothing I have said disagrees with you. I havent said that all AI projects are useless, just identified the cause of the rush. I have seen some toe curling LLM implementations that could only exist thanks to executive stupidity.
