To extrapolate from my own company and the orders we got from the suits, it basically boils down to them saying "Been hearing about this fancy Chat AI thing, can you whip up something like that quick so we can put out a press release saying $COMPANY is doing AI as well?".
Most corpos couldn't give a rat's ass about it, it's just the fancy new toy on the block that's saturating everyone's newsfeeds so they have to jump on it lest they be left in the dust by the competition who are doing the exact same shit, aka calling the "Open"AI APIs and pretending they're doing something groundbreaking.
We got interrupted mid-sprint, mid-epic to make some shitty wrapper around their APIs. I suspect the overwhelming majority of companies with fancy new "AI" features are doing the exact same shit
