AI is being aggressively promoted and driven by...

Editor's note: ...wildly over exaggerated claims with marketing being more important than actual AI productivity. Is AI really helping people work better, faster and smarter in the way that it is being promised? Or, is AI making people less valuable and less productive even if it feels like it helps? Another thing here is that these AI companies are telling Americans there is going to be mass layoffs described as a "white color bloodbath" because of AI. That is another marketing scam ("Anthropic just admitted AI is bullsh*t"). Much of today's AI hysteria is being fueled less by proven technological reality and more by investor pressure, inflated stock valuations, venture capital incentives, enterprise software sales campaigns, and fear-driven marketing designed to push rapid adoption before the technology has truly earned the hype. A Harvard Business School study involving 758 Boston Consulting Group consultants found that AI boosted speed and productivity on routine consulting tasks (AI as the "easy button"), but researchers also warned that workers using AI were significantly more likely to produce incorrect answers when operating outside the technology's actual capabilities. The study described AI as a "jagged technological frontier," contradicting corporate hype portraying AI as a flawless replacement for skilled professionals. The problem here is that OpenAI is becoming a "gatekeeper for software development" while you get the shit version of AI.

US government protecting 'data cartels' – whistleblower to RT (VIDEO)

Sam Altman's Open AI is building a monopoly on human knowledge, Zach Vorhies has warned

By RT | May 29, 2026 21:28

AI megacorporations like OpenAI and Anthropic have scraped every word of human knowledge from the internet, and the US government is helping them sell it back to the public, Google whistleblower Zach Vorhies has told RT.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman caused controversy last month during an appearance at BlackRock in Washington DC, when he described his company’s vision of "a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."

In Altman’s future, AI companies will essentially charge users for access to data that they have collected for free by scraping libraries, archives, forums, and everywhere else knowledge is stored.

"These cartels have gone through and they've downloaded the data for themselves, before everybody else knew about it, and then once they downloaded it they shut the door behind them, which prevents researchers, it prevents startups from being able to challenge them," Vorhies told RT on Friday.

The US government has helped AI companies operate as cartels, he argued, by waging "lawfare" against free alternatives. These include Anna's Archive, which bills itself as "the largest truly open library in human history," and was ordered to pay Spotify $300 million in damages last month for scraping the entire platform, and Z-LIbrary, which was shut down by the FBI in 2022.

The Harvard Business School study has also shown that professionals relying too heavily on AI can produce worse results when the technology operates outside its actual capabilities. The tech industry often exaggerates AI's reliability and intelligence while downplaying hallucinations, factual errors, energy costs, and the continuing need for skilled human oversight because AI is driven by this obscenity:
