AI now takes $1 in $12 of company software budgets, up from $1 in $70 last year (Zip Enterprise AI Index)

1. I believe it. I’ve been asked to vibe code a ton of software at work to replace a few expensive subscriptions. Everytime that’s the done, the budget moves a little further from paying other companies for our software needs and more using AI to manage our in-house builds.

2. So it’s basically between Claude, OpenAI, and Cursor.

3. If companies replacing SaaS with AI didn’t think the people at those AI companies knew *exactly* how much they were spending on SaaS and the plan was always to suck up that entire budget in the end with no net cost saving, they are morons who shouldn’t be leading companies.

4. Can’t wait for saas companies to replace their saas companies with ai while not realising they themselves are being killed by the same process

5. What a weird way to tell us those numbers. It’s 1.4 to 8%

6. The fact that companies are putting as much reliance on AI as they are is a bit scary, because effectively they are making their products a sub-product of the AI they have bought into, and you just know they are not prepared for something happens where the price suddenly increases or AI goes outside their price range.

   That said I’m generally very pro sensible use of AI, but the way many seem to be implementing it does not seem sensible, when your product and ability to create and maintain it relies so much on another company, that’s worry some, and/or it is forced into every possible thing simply to have AI.
