Or do they just take what marketing people say about the tools at face value? Because they seem genuinely surprised that people don’t like the tools, when even the most ardent AI enthusiasts I’ve seen that use the tools are well aware of their limitations.
I don’t know if this is fully the case - there are tons of people who are already sitting on a dragon’s hoard who are yeeting significant chunks of it into AI investments. They could’ve cashed out if they wanted, but like the story with the monkey and the coconut, they can’t let go of enough to get their paws back out. I think there are some who genuinely believe this is an opportunity to deal away with the proletariat and all of the headaches its existence causes and will spend mountains of cash in pursuit of the techno utopia where it’s just rich people and robots.
