Nothing about these AI ads are remotely believable, even if you know NOTHING about AI. You just need to use deductive logic.

If GenSpark could truly "automate your work so you could take the day off" then why not two days? Three days? Why go back to work at all? It's just so obvious they're lying.
These shit ads are doing more to accelerate the collapse of AI than @edzitron.com could ever dream of.
