Original Reddit post

I had some meetings with this martech founder who builds AI agents for marketing, and over several meetings we sort of developed this hey bro vibe. And over a few drinks, i really started giving him a piece of my mind that AI agents are just wrappers, it’s almost freaking hype. AI is too expensive to replace you, all big tech giants are just looking for excuses to fire employees in the name of AI, basically everything an anti-AI camp guy would say. No holds barred. again i was just curious and surprisingly he agreed his AI agents are just wrappers. But then, he told me something that completely blew my mind. a few days ago, he gave a demo of his AI agents to an HOD at JBL, who was basically a boomer when it came to AI agents and after the demo, this HOD guy was like, can you help me create a WhatsApp broadcast channel, i want it for my wife. And i was like fk, how did this guy even become an HOD at JBL. But that’s what’s so crazy, the AI adoption gap is something no one really understands. AI is being sold to the wrong people. I guess that’s why every smart AI company is chasing folks from BFSI, manufacturing etc because they don’t know much about AI or how to implement it in their workflows. submitted by /u/MarsupialNarrow7967
