AI build out is just a way for cloud providers to keep customers since you can't get hardware for your own on-prem setup

What does this mean in the larger landscape though? Every company is using AI or trying it out, are they not using the cloud services for it? If so is it still not a big enough pie to show?

What about Google and Amazon I wonder ?

How much of their cloud/AI revenue is organic reflecting actual business usage, and how much from Anthropic, especially for Amazon ?
