I think alot of companies I trying to figure out where the actual business value is.

Most business spend a lot of money on making processes reliable not probabilistic.

I think most business process probably need something like:

text/image -> classifier -> events -> workflow -> template

                         -> exception -> human

then text/image -> llm/agent loop -> creative text.

with programming the model used to be

non-coder -> vague AI slop spec -> programmer/questions -> QA -> Prod

now it's:

AI prototype -> execs -> wow -> non-coder -> vague spec -> AI slop Code -> QA/Verify -> missed requirments/lacks business context, etc. -> programmer spends just as much time fixing.

I had an idea for one once. you start a company and you take investor money and you keep getting new investors and then you make a bunch of robots and their the last leg on the pyramid Ponzi scheme. oh crap someone already beat me too it.

but the general assumption is your data isn't going to get lost if you use Amazon. so once the trust is gone it's gone.

it would be cool to use embeddings to categorize into like 10-20 categories and get a giant pie chart

I feel like this might be a bot account. you posted no submissions, no favorites and your comments have a pattern. they're short, negative and not much variation.

that's the trillion dollar questions though can you teach it the expertise or does learning the expertise take 5,10,20 years to learn and what happens if things change does it do better or worse. how much if it's how fast an expert learns and adapts?

a large % of wealth is a made up number. if everyone runs to the door to sell an asset it becomes close to worthless pretty quickly.

That suggests a better architecture for business processes:

AI interprets. Rules validate. Humans approve exceptions or high-risk actions. Deterministic systems execute and record.

right on the money. although I would say AI could possibly have a few rounds of deliberation before moving to the next step. Think ReAct style or something like that.
