They want to tell you the boycotts don’t work…except Target has already lost over 16 billion since they trashed DEI. Walmart stores are empty & while I can’t find figures on losses…truth will out eventually. And Tesla alone has lost over 750 Billion.
People aren’t flying to US.
Keep up the good work people. You may not see the results published and they may say it doesn’t work, but it clearly does.

@ianbetteridge I'm still not convinced. I'm sure there are some folks out there who mistakenly believe AI will be able to write their essays, or do their work, but the issue in the case you've brought up is less about AI and more about this person's unethical behavior that would have done the same thing if he didn't have AI.

@ianbetteridge @DavidPenington This feels a bit strawman-ish. Are there people advocating for letting it just do the work? Even most AI evangelists are not advocating to use it this way.
