Exactly. It is a tool for professionals to use to speed up existing processes. It is not a replacement for people, regardless of what the marketers tell you so you buy their product. I don’t understand how there aren’t thousands of lawsuits against these AI companies for their blatantly false advertising.
AI keeps proving this day by day when people try to make it a replacement and have it blow up in their faces every day.
SEC is neutered, what makes you think anyone in charge of advertising rules hasn’t been replaced by a 17 year old called Goebbels Gobbler or something with a DOGE laptop.
