I think not many people are aware of that. No matter how well you build the systems with this type of AI, they don’t yet know. Now, maybe they’re useful, maybe not, but this awareness that everything is actually just made up, by statistics and such, is lacking from peoples minds.
I mean, often enough even that phone call won’t help.
But you’re right, as long as everything is working normally, working on premises slows you down to do maintenance, updates etc etc. Cloud (of all kinds) takes that work away and you can work faster. And in the VC-driven daily and eternal grind, moving faster is the only thing that matters.
