Im just seeing already failing companies grasp straws called AI and hope no one notices.

"Our AI designed eyeglasses." "This AI formulated workout routine." "And Techno Wizardry will calculate the value"

All tells me that these companies would be better ran by AI and the marketing department should be changing careers.

TikTok and Reels with their influencers too. "If yOu ArE NoT uSiNg THesE 10 AI ToOls, yoUr ....". Granted though, some of them are actually educative. But, the ones with quick transitions, short don't seem very authentic.

My washing machine is ‘AI powered’ in that it lists the modes in order of what I use most often. And somehow, even with that metric, it’s usually wrong.
