Hmmm i have to reread my previous comment cuz people are getting the wrong idea (maybe)

Im talking about marketing doublespeak, and the fact a press release to the public at large will never admit "AI" has become bad in the public perception because of marketing. It is because of these marketing mba dipshits and clueless fad followers putting "AI" on stuff that is

Not AI

Or

Not useful to the consumer, and indeed has many anti-consumer facets, being used primarily as an excuse to fire workers, push software as a service, or mine consumer info.

The point i tried and failed to make was these MBA fucks (categorically not the engineers building ai or the llms we also call ai) are so insulated inside their corpo boardroom-speak they can't see or admit it's their fault, or ever hear how goddamn stupid they sound.
