What happened
On November 7, Simon Willison reported on The Verge's Nilay Patel discussing the AI industry's troubles on The Vergecast. Patel said AI products are not yet good enough for users to accept their cost, and that agents "aren't real" and may not be used the way everyone expects. He said companies are spending more on these products than they earn, with costs too high and returns not real. The industry can only get out of this by building better products, he said.
