Now what if AI is .... well not available?

Don't get me wrong... I love AI... it has expanded my horizon ... to... well "What horizon?"

I spend a lot of time researching long term weather patterns, space weather, solar storms etc etc. It stated as a hobby as I am not officially trained in it. So I always have the "carrington effect" in the back of my mind. Basically it is a "lights" out event.

Now lets look a bit more granually, a localised "lights out event". As I write it one of the major telco's in AU (Telstra) has major outages. Not because of network, and this is not confirmed yet, but likely because of their billing/accounting system gone funny. Well that is what I think anyways. Not so long ago another Telco had the same issues.

So here we all are... relying on AI. It might be chatGPT, it might be Claude it might be any of the others. As more and more businesses relying on "cloud" and "outside brick and mortar" services, you can forgive me for asking:

What if AI is down eg not reachable?

What are you going to do, what parts of your business stops and how long can you survive without AI?

Is AI becoming to much integrated?
