What's the opposite of Vertical AI? Is it a monolithic chunk of code like an operating system with millions of lines?

I've always been a bit confused about what the end goal will look like for 'general AI'.

Or is there potential for some general platform that these vertical AI systems can plug into, similar to the app store, but with some type of cross vertical communication so they be layered on top of each other.

I think the opposite is AI for the sake of AI.

He is trying to show that AI that solves business problems is more valuable than AI that scores 1% higher on some benchmark.

The opposite is "Enterprise AI" but your use of the words "general" and "plug in" lead me to think you have another idea in your head.
