I have seen no consultants directly selling this yet. To me it looks like this is all coming at the CEO "organically", or at least through the same channels that it's coming to the rest of us.
At my job it's been coming through the regular channels, but is empowered by aligning with current trends. It's easier to sell an AI project, even internally, when the whole world is talking about it.
right it feels like its more a pull than push, but what i meant is that any of the big consultancies are happy to take customers with -absurd- requests, and not finish the job, cause they paid regardless.
maybe they're not directly pushing AI (cause they dont need to), but they're happy to accept shitty jobs that make no sense just cause
I don't think that's the right distinction to draw here. It's definitely being pushed, just not by consultants.
> big consultancies are happy to take customers with -absurd- requests
This is of course always true. Consultants usually don't really care where they make the money, and long as you pay them, they'll find someone stupid enough to take on your task.
That's not what I'm seeing though. We're not hiring outside consultants to do big AI projects, we have people within our organization that have been convinced by the public marketing, and are pushing for these projects internally. I'm not seeing big consultancies accepting contracts, I'm seeing normal working people getting consultant brain and taking this as their chance to sell a "cutting edge" project that'll disrupt all those departments they don't understand what does.
greenfield projects have always been a way to be -seen- in big corps i guess.
AI is now the du jour's vector to get an easy YES from command.
Sad state of affairs i guess, at least put the effort to know wtf you want to build and more importantly WHY or HOW is it better than current solutions
