companies put billions into the AI craze hoping to achieve AGI and ‘winning’ the race to stop the open internet from existing, and capturing every user into their controlled bubble.
Now that the reality of LLMs not being able to deliver that, they need to find some excuse to explain why that was not a dumb investment.

Large companies don’t care about the product, they don’t care about the customer, they don’t even care about whether they will ever make money. They are just a horse to bet on for investors, so all they care about is looking good in a way that investors dump their money into the company.
It’s nothing else than NFTs but for people with actually serious money.
