Enterprise AI deployment faces reliability, cost, and regulatory hurdles; models still need human babysitting for mission-critical tasks. If Wall Street shifts focus from hype to integration timelines, the semiconductor/AI infrastructure sector (SMH) could revalue lower. Short SMH as a bet that current valuations embed unrealistic expectations for rapid, autonomous AI adoption. AI cost per token continues to drop; enterprise adoption could accelerate with better models; the “show me” moment may be delayed.
