I don't think it's for training really.
It's way more likely they want to get people together and talking about AI in the hopes they hear literally any plausible method of monetizing it. And stealing that idea.
With the added bonus when you check out, if you subscribe to it's AI you get 50% off the drinks, if you don't you get a month of the AI service with you're drinks.
The way AI effects your brain is kind of like drugs. It's feels fun and novel at first, and a lot of people get tired and let it go. Certain people are wired different and get hooked.
Maybe it's because I just re-watched Snowfall, but it feel like when Franklin cooked up his first key and just gave it away. They're trying to hook people who would never intially buy it, because some of them won't be able to stop.
