No one is claiming that it doesn’t output stuff. The scam lies in the air castles that these companies are selling to us. Ideas like how it’ll revolutionise the workplace, how it will cure cancer, and bring about some kind of utopia. Like Tesla’s full-self-driving, these ideas will never manifest.
We’re still at a stage where companies are throwing the slop at the wall to see what sticks, but for every mediocre success there’s a bunch of stories that indicate that it’s just costing money and bringing nothing to the table. At some point, the fascination for this novel-seeming technology will wear out, and that’s when the castle comes crashing down on us. At that point, the fat cats on top will have cashed out with what they can and us normal people will be forced to carry the consequences.
Exactly. Just like the dotcom bubble websites and web services aren’t the scam, the promise of it being some magical solution to everything is the scam.
