Not a good week for AI as users, buyers rebel against the hype

Description

It's been a rough week for the AI industry as a series of stories have showed the latest LLM technology in a less than flattering light.

For example, it appears that AI makes workers less productive, mainly because they haven't been trained how to use it. Gartner, usually a tech cheerleader, has pointed out that expensive AI PCs don't appear to be selling. But there's still Microsoft's latest AI enthusiasm from Ignite - Redmond has to recoup that $10 billion investment in ChatGPT somehow.

There's some spirited discussion, and not a few chuckles on this week's Kettle episode, that you can watch in full below. Chewing the fat we have our editor Chris Williams, reporters Brandon Vigliarolo and Tom Claburn.
