    Why in hell are all these people on a Technology community who clearly don’t understand the reason why companies are all-in on the AI thing?

    I don’t want to pull a “no true scotsman” here, but holy christ. Are any of the people here actually technology enthusiasts? Because there’s a lot of technophobes and luddites here.

    In fact, I’d say MOST replies to this community are people pooh-poohing Tech.

        Of course not. My point was that these wealthier-than-god goobers just throw money at anything with the term “AI” attached with abandon, and that seems like a better road to relative wealth than playing the lottery.
