This part really stuck out for me:

This is the latest example of a strange marketing strategy by AI companies. Instead of selling products based on helpful features and letting users decide, executives often deploy scare tactics that essentially warn people they will become obsolete if they don't get on the AI bandwagon.

If hype doesn't work, try threats!

For some odd reason, this calls to mind an emotionally immature parent trying to get their toddler to eat vegetables... no reason at all...

Just that the vegetables in this case are actually fastfood and gummibears.
