It totally is in my experience. I have literally sat in meetings pushing AI... but absolutely NO steering or discussion on what we ought to do with it. They will relabel related things that have existed for years as AI.

It's like instead of having a bunch of nails and needing a way to pound them in, we've been given a nail gun and a requirement to use it.

"But we sell balloons"

"Dont worry, the nail gun will make everything better"

My work place is doing a hackathon where projects must use AI in some way
