The problem with AI developer tools for enterprises (and what IKEA has to do with it)

The emergence of new technologies is usually accompanied with subsequent phases of expansion and contraction in the number of possible solution designs. It is no longer contentious that AI will transform many industries, often becoming a strategic advantage and even creating new "AI first" business models and companies. As a result, all major Cloud vendors (and countless startups) are piling on resources to bring AI developer tools to a broader audience, most importantly big enterprises. All of these vendors broadly attempt to solve the same user needs, but with distinctly different approaches and outcomes, leading to a proliferation in different designs. This phenomenon exists at every level of the stack and usually progresses from the bottom up.
