Cloud AI is 100% worth it. We've been able to do so much more with so much less.

Examples?
a massive number of data engineering agents. We are able to stand up, test, audit, deploy data pipelines much more efficiently with the foundational models.
Examples of them being useful?
Happier engineering teams? Happier end users of the data?

What does useful mean to you?

So far you've only explained that AI made your coworkers happier. That's fine, but weren't we talking about productivity? Doing more with less?
Correct. We were chronically understaffed and now we are able to actually breathe and can argue that we are finally right sized.
