The Man Who Calls BS On AI: They’re LYING About AI, 2027 Is When It All Breaks! | Ed Zitron
What was said
"I think generative AI is at its heart con. I don't think it is sold as honest software. I think that they overstate both what it can do, what it will do, and the underlying financials to the point that they are misleading the entire world."
Ed Zitron argues on The Diary of a CEO that leading generative AI firms market the technology as near-magical while overstating its capabilities and finances. He says the current AI boom is a misleading sales narrative rather than a sustainable software business.
