They just slap the word AI on it so investors pp's become the big pp.

My little brother works for a supply company, and one of the companies they supply has a new 'AI' tool where folks type in the thing they want and it pulls from other companies to find the lowest price, then color codes it and shit. The supply companies have to put their prices in a database for the 'AI'. All I could think hearing about it is that some C level got absolutely fucking bamboozled.
