This was literally the scenario where I worked. They were posting up leaderboards of who was using AI for the most. So people started using it for everything... email... product descriptions... competitive intel.... things we literally already had internal sites and resources for half the time.

Then suddenly at the beginning of this month all that talk from management completely stopped and went silent.... gee. I wonder why.

Companies will spend $10k per employee per year on tokens, on top of their $250k salary, rather than just buying $300k of hardware and running their own DeepSeek/GLM stack for the entire company.

The entire cloud scam is basically You will own nothing and by happy, but for IT departments. Its a big fucking dependency scam that will forever prevent upstarts from rising up in the future of the industry. AI is just the next logical step down that path. An illusion of choice where the same old guard big dogs magically always seem to remain on top no matter how badly they fuck up. Kind of like the energy industry, really. And we all fell for it.
