You probably aren't protesting AI infrastructure. But you might understand the frustration. You bought a tool, paid the subscription, and watched it collect dust. The consultant who sold you on it? Long gone.
That frustration is valid — and it's actually useful information.
When business owners push back on AI, they're not rejecting efficiency. They're rejecting complexity they didn't sign up for. The real problem isn't AI itself. It's that nobody showed you how it fits your specific workflow before asking for your credit card.
Here's what that story tells me about where you actually are: the market is starting to self-correct. Vendors are being forced to justify real-world value, not just hype. That means better tools with clearer use cases are coming — and the business owners who understand their own problems first will pick the right ones.
