man they will shoe-horn "AI" into literally anything

A1 sauce goes on everything.

I don't blame them for it, but I find it amusing how they present this as some wonderful new technology as opposed to simply that they're playing catch up with the other cloud providers offerings

it wasn't clear to me if this was the same as aws cloudwan (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/network-manager/latest/cloudwan/...) or some other kind of confusing network offerings to re-sell partner virtual appliances or what

So, like a normal corporate network from before cloud happened?
