Gen AI Paradox: High Investment, Low Productivity Gains

Gen AI Paradox: High Investment, Low Productivity Gains

Companies are spending a lot of money on new AI systems, like the ones that make chatbots.

However, most businesses haven't seen any real benefit in terms of making more money or being more efficient.

This is similar to what happened when computers and the internet first came out.

Many pilot projects are also failing because of technical problems or because people don't know how to use them or don't want to.

Experts predict AI will get worse before it gets better, but companies that sell the AI technology are doing well.
