newfangled AI bullshit is a key component of the pitch. If you say you just want to help people and make the world better, there will be zero traction. But, say you have newfangled AI bullshit and now everybody is talking about it and trying to invest in newfangled AI bullshit companies and those companies then use that money on lobbyists who then 'contribute' to politicians who then pass the bills. It's not the world I want, but its the one we got.
