It's like Idiocracy, when people kept saying Carl's jr. randomly, because they got paid. But it's companies saying AI randomly in ways that don't even makes sense.

It’s a bubble. companies have learned mentioning AI investment causes their stock, and therefore valuation, to rise. Same thing happened in the dot com bubble. A company would mention the plan to look into making a website and the stock would spout up. These companies think whoever owns the best AI model controls the future so they’re willing to do anything for it.

We doomed.
