There’s a stark difference in success rates between companies that purchase AI tools from vendors and those that build them internally.

Despite the rush to integrate powerful new models, about 5% of AI pilot programs achieve rapid revenue acceleration; the vast majority stall, delivering little to no measurable impact on P&L.

The research—based on 150 interviews with leaders, a survey of 350 employees, and an analysis of 300 public AI deployments—paints a clear divide between success stories and stalled projects.

    That’s great but you’re not what this article and is about. There are tens of thousands of companies popping up left and right with far less ambition to succeed who just want to launch the next “AI powered toaster” and are hoping to make a fast buck and get bought out by a larger company like Google or OpenAI or Meta.

    Combine that with growing public skepticism of AI and a general attitude that it’s being overused, the same attitude that makes you knee-jerk defensive about your business, an attitude which is growing and people are losing interest in AI broadly as a feature because it’s being overplayed and over-hyped and not delivering promises. This makes for a bubble that is growing, a bubble with nothing inside that becomes more and more fragile every day. Not everyone is a successful vibe-coder nor can they be.
