In this video I sat down with Bret Fisher - Docker Captain and DevOps educator who spent 2 years walking around conferences asking engineers one question: Are you actually using AI in DevOps?

The disconnect between what people say online and what's really happening will surprise you.

We break down:
- the AI hype vs reality
- what AI can actually do for DevOps RIGHT NOW (not in 5 or 10 years)
- and the practical first steps you can take without getting overwhelmed by the chaos

Plus: why companies still want Kubernetes experts, not AI prompt engineers.
If you're confused about AI in DevOps, this conversation will clear everything up.
