This is the argument for virtually every company going AI-first: it's just a way to scam VCs.
It seems crazy but it really works.
Is it really scamming VCs, if they're the loudest cheerleaders for AI?
I mean yeah but in a way it's kinda like a legalised pyramid scheme
And we wonder why the tech industry has lost the trust of the public.
Where could it have gone?
