The wort part is that I really can't tell if the text on that page was written by spicy autocomplete or some marketing clown who's freebasing coke before lunch.

Experience the ultimate skill mastery like being plugged into a Matrix-like machine!

They didn't even watch the movie, did they?

"Exponential Ai strategies" (not AI, but Ai) so that'll be "Aieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"
"AI UNLEASHED" but consider: everyone involved in this is in dire need of leashing
I'm pretty sure I saw almost that exact list of AI use cases being used to sell blockchain too

you'd think so, but i think this one was online??

AI influencers are wild. Much like blockchain somehow AI will solve all your problems, but to access the grimoire that is LLM prompts gotta watch a video by someone who claims to have this knowledge access but had their presentation written by ChatGPT
