Real AI: Where Hype Meets Self-Congratulation at Danish Conferences
AI that works in practice is worlds apart from hallucinations and hype. Real AI is delivered by people who understand actual business challenges and can demonstrate how AI makes us not just better… | Mikkel Bardram
Verdict
Mikkel Bardram's glorified sales pitch masquerades as thought leadership. 'Real AI is delivered by people who understand actual business challenges'—a statement so vague it wouldn't bear the weight of a PowerPoint slide, much less the future of AI. Yet for someone who decries 'hype,' Bardram boasts about his company's 40-year-old software credentials as if they were state secrets discovered in the Dead Sea Scrolls. The pièce de résistance? A humblebrag thanking the Danish Industry while pivoting to extol his own company’s AI prowess. This post reeks like a stale conference room filled with buzzwords and ego, thinly veiled as gratitude and vision. If being 'all-in' means more recycled platitudes, perhaps it's time to cash out.
The post expresses gratitude to the Danish Industry but leans heavily into self-congratulation.
It relies on the author's long history in software development as a key point of credibility.
'Real AI is delivered by people who understand actual business challenges' is vague and lacks actionable detail.
While advocating for practical AI solutions, the post feels promotional about the speaker's company.
'We've been developing industry-specific software for over 40 years' clearly serves as self-promotion throughout.
'Moving the conversation from hype to tangible business value' is a classic buzzword-laden statement.
