There are a lot of companies "embracing AI" for CEO-fell-for-the-hype / CEO-hopes-investors-will-fall-for-the-hype reasons, that aren't related to actual business needs or benefits from using AI. Lying (to themselves, and/or others) about how use of AI is improving business efficiency. Forcing it on people down the chain whose reality-based "um, this mandate to use AI tools for this is actually making things take longer" complaints are being ignored.

Many of these companies are throwing money at these kinds of early-mover products, but are likely to stop doing that as people start to get wise to just how useful all this actually is, and for what.

[EDIT] This is not to claim that AI-based products won't find actually beneficial uses in various companies, but a lot of these trivial get-to-market-fast companies are raking in quite a bit of money from hype-chasers, and that money isn't going to stick around long-term.
