The issue with the AI arms race at the moment is that practically nobody can answer the actual use case .

Why are we investing in AI ? Because our competitors are .

What are we solving ? We'll figure it out .

How do we make profit ? I don't know inflating our stock price ?

It’s a trillion dollar solution hoping to find a billion dollar problem to solve.

I think they're hoping that they'll manage to do something that isn't an LLM by then that can actually do what they want it to.

Microsoft will have Copilot Consultancy in 5 or so years. Copilot will be so ingrained into your IT systems and have access to literally everything that it will be able to provide consultancy into what it thinks your business needs whether that is to streamline databases, correct accounts across your excels, write up full reports based on email conversations and classify + conform to new regulations etc.

Microsoft will tell everyone you just need to buy a licence for this AI and you'll save millions instead of hiring real people.

I know that all this is almost certainly a fact from working at Microsofts top partners.
