IBM is in the business of consulting. They don’t want their business model getting usurped. Imagine if everyone had access to a bot that could do IBMs job.

I don’t like AI, but this is one reason I can see him saying that.

    Sure but they're in the business of consulting on how to build out that AI platform and the business of providing an AI platform.

    A lot of companies. Don't forget that IBM was ahead of the game with Watson and Watsonx. Also, don't forget that Red Hat is owned by IBM and OpenShift is getting big in the AI space allowing GPUs to be pooled and workloads to be scheduled dynamically.
