Generative AI has yet to actually solve a real business problem, let alone a problem that consumers actually have.

It's creating content that floods internet spaces and workplace wikis faster than we can sort it.

AI-generated content is basically plastic: disposable, cheaper and worse quality than alternatives (human labor), and once it enters the ocean (the internet) will require humans to manually fish out and dispose of.
