A common pitfall when people present to "execs" is focusing too much on the speed or thoroughness of response. And not enough on pausing to ensure they answer the right question.
Visited the new Apple Store at the Mall of Scandinavia. Perfect store.
Tried the new camera button on the new iPhones. Extremely easy and fast. I don’t understand tech reviewers.

These AI tools cost money to operate, and so they need to show ongoing value add - else why would a company pay a relatively high price tag (compared to SaaS) for AI functionality?

The value proposition for why to (eventually) pay another $20-40 per month for a GenAI feature seems pretty vague to me, with this Google messaging.

Nearly a decade ago, I wrote a piece that talked about value, not valuations. Since then, Silicon Valley's obsession with valuations has worsened. Today, when I hear about the AI bubble and all that, I can only think about how much we have focused on money raised and insane valuations. If we focused on "value," we would think differently about AI, its true worth, and the time horizon for it to become valuable to us.
