Can the chaffbot generate enough media noise/smokescreen (all that "AI" chaff) to distract from all that?

Yes, buzzwords as a vapourware tactic (be patient, shareholders, we'll razzle-dazzle you in the future while we lose money now). We've seen this before. First "metaverse", now "AI"... (they misleabel or call almost everything that)

Last night:

Summary: Microsoft's layoffs and shrinking business footprint is a big feature this month, even if the media keeps focusing on vapourware and hype instead (Microsoft pays for misplaced media focus)
