AI is a scam. SEO is a scam. Blockchain -- all applications, no exceptions -- is a scam. Kubernetes is a scam: it's real, it works, and nobody except Google itself ever needed it. Containers are mostly a scam: they're a useful tool but not a deployment method, not a software distribution method, etc. SaaS and everything aaS are scams: own your shit, keep your own data on boxes you own. Pay for good smart people to run them. Hire old people, and pay enough to keep them. Good techies are not a fungible resource, and tech that makes people more fungible is bad tech.
Being AI advocates is a good sign of scammers, of industrial-scale incompetence, and of entire industries and market sectors to avoid.
