While I dislike further proliferation of the AI idiocy, I have mouths to feed too, and I've definitely seen that strategy work. Good luck and god speed.

My workplace has started using multiple new software/systems over the past few years that advertised heavily on their AI features automating away a bunch of the grunt work of running say, a NOC monitoring solution.

Then we got hands on with the thing and learned that the automation was all various "normal" algorithms and automation, and there was like two optional features where you could have an AI analyze data and try to analyze trends instead of using the actual statiscal algorithms it would use by default. Even the sales people running our interactive demos steered us clear of the AI stuff. We cared that it made things easier for us, not the specifics of how, so it was all roses.
