Well, gee, what do you think sounds better? Building a datacenter, burning gigawatts daily, spending millions in developer hours to train an 'AI' for a few years before you launch your product, and then to maintain said datacenter and its ridiculous energy requirements.

One of these is an obvious choice for anyone who has considered the question for longer than it takes to read 'AI'
