A popular Reddit post argues most enterprise AI is fugazi: legacy vendors sprinkle LLM fairy dust on old products, AI-native startups like Harvey are moat-less wrappers, and Wall Street pressure forces CEOs to fake AI ROI. It cites Palantir's Alex Karp saying CEOs are privately furious about AI spend vs. returns—but none will say it publicly—while models, VCs, chips, and data centers keep raking in money.
