AI spend per employee slumped at top firms in August — summer doldrums or a warning sign?

Comments

1. Suzukiadam: seems like those fancy AI claims are getting put to the test - literally
2. Adam: this is either the summer slump or AI hype finally wearing off, can't quite tell yet
3. Shadow Moth: that sudden drop-off is interesting, especially given all the hype around ai last year
4. Mayaweber: you'd think with the price drops and all the hype they'd actually be saving money somewhere
5. Ellismilan: they're saying it's just summer doldrums, but i don't see enough historical data to trust that explanation yet. what made august different this year?
6. Elin: seems like someone's "AI revolution" hype train has already derailed
7. Cobalt Cipher: surprised nobody's connecting this to the whole cloud wash trend, feels like AI spend is just another expense being optimized out
8. Irisa: looks like all that hipe about AI revolutionizing every industry hasn't exactly translated to bottom line growth yet
