Cloud computing is more expensive than it promised and puts a lot of control in the hands of your cloud vendor. I'm not sure how much of an industry trend it is, but my workplace just migrated away from AWS to a physically accessible colo running VMs on hardware we own because of that. We still use cloud for backup, but the compute side doesn't always have the benefits that the big cloud vendors claim. Especially if you have a lot of legacy software and too few engineers to rewrite all of it.

AI is probably going to be like this too, just like outsourcing. People will try to use it in problem domains it doesn't work in and make those IT cogs that you're complaining about look right to be skeptical of the tech
