What makes you think there is no clear evidence of ROI?
All of the articles and CFO’s saying so, and companies like Uber cutting back on AI spend.
Uber cutting back to ~$1,500/engineer/tool/month makes it look to me like they think there's at least $1,500 of monthly ROI to be had per engineer.
1500/Mo per engineer is such a small price considering the base salary of these employees, Maybe Uber knows something we don't (the 5X engineering ROI isn't there for them?).
Judging the ROI of an engineer is hard. Adding AI on top of that makes things worse, I think. I've heard AI makes engineers 3X, 5X, 10X and even 100X.
If I told my CEO that I was 4X more effective with AI, I am doubtful he would be willing to spend even 1X my salary on tokens. Even though he would be making out in the end.
At some point the ROI is pretty much vibes, man.
