I like the historical part of this article, but the current problem is the reverse.

Everyone is jumping on the AI train and forgetting the fundamentals.

I definitely don't think so. You're seeing companies who have a lot of publicity on the internet. There are tons of very successful SMBs who have no real idea of what to do with AI, and they're not jumping on it at all. They're at risk.

at risk of getting all my business because the big companies think I want to talk to a bot instead of a person lol

It's only a risk if there's a moat. What's the moat for jumping in early?

Seriously. What should my local roofing company's AI strategy be, and what are they risking by not having one?

I can tell you for sure they did not have a Blockchain strategy, and they turned out just fine.
