I'm tired of "AI" products wrapped over and selling at high rates

I am noticing the same thing in recruiter messages via LinkedIn. "Hi! I'm with turd.ai! We are revolutionizing the toilet industry using chatbots! We have $80m in funding from a16z and can offer up to $275k for the right candidate!"

It's nuts, the absolute dumbest-sounding ideas (to me at least), with "ai" slapped into the description somewhere, just totally flush with cash for no other reason than they are riding the hype train. Do the folks writing the checks even look into these things?

I agree to this. I think VC backed ones just want to make a quick bank...

Funny enough sewerAI is legit and predates the chatgpt moment
