It may be true but Bezos' comment is also classic smoke blowing. "Oh well you can't see us using <newest hype machine> or quantify it's success but it's certainly in everything we do!"

But it’s completely true — Amazon undoubtedly has a pretty advanced logistics set up and certainly uses AI all over the place. Even if they’re not a big AI researcher.
There are a lot of great use cases for ML outside of chatbots
It's not "generative AI" which is what most people mean when they say "AI" today, outside of "old school" AI/ML folks.
So at best technically correct on his part but still semantically incorrect
> There are a lot of great use cases for ML outside of chatbots
To be slightly provocative, most of the ML applications that are profitable are not chatbots.
To stay on Amazon, their product recommendations, ads ranking, and search likely make Amazon way more than their little AI summaries or Rufus chatbot.
But also, like, how much of that is really "AI" in the general sense as it applies to things like ChatGPT today? Do you really need a massive resource intensive system for products recommendations and things related to Amazon's marketing.
