> In short, unless you’re building or hosting foundation models, saying that AI is a differentiating factor is sort of like saying that your choice of database is what differentiated your SaaS product: No one cares.

I still think of AI as the analogy of databases is perfect. No database is set up for the necessary applications where they get deployed. The same is true for LLMs except for some very broad chatbot stuff where the big players already own everything.

And if AI is just these chat bots, the technology is going to be pretty minor in comparison to database technology.
