Ops dude here. I agree. I recently was doing some digging on the real future of AI in dev/ops, and I found that the higher the complexity, the less capable the AI (oh god, I've turned into one of those that is now saying AI instead of ML/DL). Operations is the height of big picture complexity - exactly what AI is not good at. That said, I think it could do a lot to assist with finding anomalies that get missed in the flood of data. I've done some fun log stuff on this using Z values before but it took mental effort! So I do think it could help a lot with the queries/searches, but it is unlikely to be able to do "whole system" observability across DC/stacks very well in current iteration.

PS: I hate how many "agents" already have to run on systems. Especially when the prod stuff is core starved already. I can't tell you how many times I've found an agent (like crowdstrike) causing some strange cascade issue!
