This page contains data entry 32908 from the Axioma AXP content repository. The structured data below represents the complete record for this entry.

This is a marketing scam. Google used to do the same thing with ads. They'd have some whistle blower or astroturf group show up to congress screaming "no no ads are too powerful they'll ruin the whole world. Internet ads are so advanced people are helpless to not click them!" Aaand it would drive up sales of ad space because, well didn't you hear in congress folks were saying it's so advanced no one can help but to click them! They under delivered and over promised. It also nicely hid the actual outrage about ads which was taking a once totally ad free internet and turning it into a hellscape of trackers, ads, and predatory business models.

Later we saw the same thing with Bitcoin and NFTs, I'm sure there are other examples, but those were totally manufactured. Articles claiming the "blockchain" will revolutionize business or that NFTs will "forever change ownership on the internet and I hate it". Meanwhile it was just a very bargain bin scam. This time without even the somewhat effective system to back it up. It has now worked three times, and then comes AI.

AI creators suddenly show up talking about how terrible AI is boasting it's power. "Oh it'll replace everyone. It's so powerful and smart, we need to worry about terminator". All the while boosting sales, making it look more powerful, and helping hide the actual concerns (the data was all stolen, it's not AI, and it's a terrifying misinformation tool). It boosts sales, it gets people talking about you, it's good publicity and makes those you oppose you seem crazy.
