The AI hype machine is promising rainbows. But what if the rainbow is the problem?
A recent piece in The Seattle Times raised a quiet warning most business owners are already feeling in their gut — the AI excitement driving stock markets may be built on expectations that haven't been proven yet for everyday businesses like yours.
That $200/month tool collecting dust on your company card? That's not your failure. That's what happens when solutions get sold before the problem gets understood.
You're not tech-stupid. You're pattern-recognition smart. And your instinct that something doesn't add up with all this AI noise? That instinct is correct.
Here's what the hype cycle gets wrong — it sells tools, not outcomes. The smarter move isn't finding the hottest AI platform. It's identifying your one most repetitive, time-wasting business task and asking whether AI can handle just that one thing.
Start there. One task. Thirty days. Measure the time saved.
That's not a small step. That's the only step that actually builds real confidence — and real ROI — without betting your budget on someone else's promise.
