Artificial intelligence (AI) is intelligence demonstrated by machines, unlike the natural intelligence displayed by humans and animals, which involves consciousness and emotionality. The distinction between the former and the latter categories is often revealed by the acronym chosen.

It's honestly funny to watch all these multi-millionaires reach the wrong conclusion with AI. It's like money turned them all into Howard Hughes, incapable of critical thought. Left only with the ability to double down on dumb decisions while blaming others for the consequences until the wheels come off.
Basically, you point out that no one wants their piss they have been keeping in jars like Howard Hughes did. And their reaction to that is to fill even more jars with piss and hide them everywhere. Just now with AI instead of piss.
Microsoft is going to go under not because it doesn't have enough jars of piss. It's going to go under because everything they make now HAS to contain a jar of piss.
It's baffling to see happen in real time.
They already invested so much money into jars of piss that the only way they can avoid massive losses is if people start buying their jars of piss. They can't actually back down at this point, they're so over leveraged on piss jars that they'd lose everything.
sunken costs.
Someday they will be dying in their bunkers surrounded by jars of their own piss.
