It wasn't a shot at you personally but the point of this was that AI companies are flush with money and desperate to show any kind of growth and willing to spend money to do that. I'm sure they are finding people that have some social following and will happily pocket couple extra green bills to present AI products in a positive light with little to no actual proof.

No shots fired, as far as I'm aware, so np :)

No doubt about it, I don't think people realize how pervasive this really is though, people still sometimes tell me they trusted something on HN/reddit just because it was the most upvoted answer, or that they chose a product based on what was mentioned the most etc.
