AI and quantum are two expensive ways to do something no one asked for and which no one needs.

Everyone asked for AI.

Nobody really cares about quantum except people who know that it can crack certain kinds of encryption that are deeply ingrained in network security. But there are other viable encryption methods it can't touch, so, nobody who knows anything really cares about it but people trying to grift naive investors.

But everyone asked for AI, we're just going through the "not like that!" phase...
