You're confusing the original article and the parent comment I replied to. I think the Apollo article is way off, BUT I have very intimate knowledge with very concrete numbers of a use case where AI has a very clear and definable ROI.

YES. That's what I'm telling you. They just implemented the system. The contractors spend less time on each project which means they have more time to do another project. How is that so hard to understand?

Are you deliberately being obtuse? The company very clearly drives ~$5k additional profit per project. They do hundreds of similar projects.
> Also, do we think the S&P 493 is so incompetent that they'd miss these optimizations? Or is it more likely that this firm you're referencing is a small inefficient player, and the S&P 493 already realized these efficiencies decades prior without AI?
I never made any of these claims, why are you saying I did?
