Been engaged in Ai and also been pointing to mistakes in current AI in my own way wave. I think the FOSS community need to hear from you. If interested, I can explore how to make it happen along with @fifthel or @jackerhack

One team moved away from ClickHouse. Another used it to speed up proximity search.
Two talks from The Fifth Elephant 2026 Annual Conference explore what drove those decisions: different workloads, bottlenecks, and ways to avoid unnecessary work.
