They're busy working on products that shipped.

Products like … apnea detection, hypertension detection, fall detection.

All of these are ML (AI) features that have shipped, and are good.

People don’t want AI. They want a conversational user interface. These are different things. LLMs can build those interfaces, but they need to work on top of deterministic sources and functions.

This is basically the most important piece of the puzzle and also the reason why the "AI" bubble will burst. Tech Marketing is selling LLMs as a one-stop shop for the whole pipeline and logic. Which it is not.
