Also "marketing will make misleading claims or lies-by-omission to hype a product", which is a lesson we seem to keep forgetting. That goes in general but doubly so for AI companies, which have to keep investors in a perpetual state of manic hype until they figure out a way to actually make any money.

> That goes in general but doubly so for AI companies Agree but I'd like to expand. It goes doubly so for "whatever industry/technology is popular right now". AI is that at the moment, but won't be forever. The extra lying is a function of popularity and thus available capital, not something inherent to "AI".
