The problem with these "shill for an AI company" thoughts is that it really doesn't matter how good their shilling or salesmanship is. They actually do need to provide value for it to be successful

These aren't tools they're asking $25,000 upfront for, that they can trick us that it for sure definitely works and get the huge lump sum then run

Nah.. at best they get a few dollars upfront for us to try it out. Then what? If it doesn't deliver on their promise, it flops

The hyperscalers are spending 600 billion a year, and literally betting their companies future, on what will happen over the next 24 months...but the bloggers are all doing it for philanthropy and to play with cool tech....Got it...
