This is really interesting but it doesn't surprise me.
AI and implementation of AI tend to be inherently good at optimizing efficiency of a system, and they can be exceptionally good at it. Look at Nvidia DLSS realtime AI upscaling for video games for example, it's fundamentally a conventional TAA pipeline (a normally computationally expensive Antialiasing technique) that's super boosted in efficiency by AI in only one of the steps of the pipeline, and it's so efficient that it can be use to make image even more clear than original and in real time. And many of the actually practical machine learning systems that have demonstrated good results in scientific and engineering applications are fundamentally conventional algorithms that's efficiency boosted so that the computation takes merely hours instead of many decades so they became practical. Not surprising the same approach can be used for business systems and give you actually good results.
But I fortunately majority of the snake oil marketing for AI products and services seem to focus on claims for generating new content with AI, which is exactly what the marketing people would want LMAO
