I don't believe a word of it. It seems more likely that they are one of the many genAI companies who basically view people with a kind of contempt. I mean, that's exactly what their advertising was advertising.
I think they see that their public stance could make them a target of the ever-growing backlash and are trying to deflect it.
- minimaxir 2mo agoIt is weird for them to simultaneously a) apologize and b) brag about the marketing ROI of the trolling.
- WCSTombs 2mo ago> they are one of the many genAI companies who basically view people with a kind of contempt. It's absolutely this, and they're not even hiding it. It's everywhere in their public presence. - Their now-retired marketing slogan is, of course, openly contemptuous towards people. - Although I don't know all the marketing jargon, if I got it right, their pitch is to have LLMs churn out marketing emails - again, contemptuous toward whomever's on the other end. - This very release is itself AI slop - total contempt toward us, the readers.
