      It’s a pretty clear humble-brag, no? The launch was only botched because people loved the previous personality; it’s an estimate of how much people care about the product and how much price gouging they could do later.

      No it wasn’t good for OpenAI. But I doubt it changed many investor minds.

      How do investors keep falling for this shit.

      The ROI and the supposed savings from getting rid of the human side of technical support but also efforts of human creatives.

      Because they already know that once the AI shitbubble bursts, they will switch all the GPUs to start mining Bitcoin and keep grifting the mouth breathers believing all these horseshit.

      How indeed. It’s probably a multi-factor phenomenon which requires an anthropological study for a serious answer. (Good luck trying to get the necessary access to study them.) My guess for one factor in this, is that they have more money than they know what to do with.
