Enterprises are in the same situation as you are. Many of them are posting marketing about AI without actually having AI. They are using OpenAI API's to say they have AI.

I can count on my hands the number of enterprises that actually have AI models of their own.

just curious, why does an enterprise have to have their own model? company can use ____ (someone else’s model) and still accomplish amazing AI shit in their products
Because I am not permitted to share my code nor client information/data with unapproved third parties; it’s a contractual obligation. So; we train our own models to do those things.

I use Claude Code for building products that don’t have these limitations. And fuck is it amazing. Even little things that would have taken days are done in a single line of text.

Because data protection and privacy compliance hasn’t caught up yet.
or given up under the unceasing pressure from the AI madness.

And somehow these companies are now "AI companies", just like in the 2010s your average food market down the street was a "tech company" or the bakery next to it is now a "blockchain company". This happens all the time with bubbles and mania.

These enterprises today appear even more confused about what they do to rebrand themselves and it's a sign they are desperate for survival.
