One particularly bizarre facet of business's current fixation with #ai is how it ignores everything they know about pricing.

Almost any human, and some gifted species of trout, can see it's in "loss leader" mode. Fine, exploit the below-cost pricing now, but don't hollow out your organization and become dependent until you've seen the final price card.

It smacks of watching a co-worker roll up in a new $1200 per month car, despite his $30k salary, because "hey, no payments til September!"
