My point is that it's not an indictment of AI, and their AI usage isn't actually going to go down; it's just Accenture doing Accenture things. They're not a charity, they're not using AI for fun, they're using it to make profit, and they make profit by charging their customers for every cent of AI they use on their behalf, usually with a hefty markup, in addition to everything and anything else they can justify charging against their customer's accounts. It's a very profitable business model, and I'm sure they love using AI for it and will continue using AI just as heavily if not even more in the future. permalink fedilink source parent [–] YurkshireLad@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 days ago (1 child) Ten times over. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 point 2 days ago Yeah, it has to pay the ping-pong of your demand being "reviewed" by all bosses. permalink fedilink source parent
