I guess the difference is the folks on the 100 year ship won’t get any feedback that the tech leapfrogs have happened, whereas at least some of the software players have a chance to use their market knowledge to at least adapt.

The marketing outreach in general for too many companies still leans heavily on “we use AI”, whereas most customers just want results and whether you use AI to either provide those results (or to make it cheaper or faster) isn’t a primary concern of the customer.
