    You think the problem here is the machine and not the countless compunding miseries the poor guy had to face?

    Humans failed this guy. The machine is just a machine.

      is the machine the problem? that seems more like a philosophical or semantic debate.

      to others that means the human salesperson is irresponsibly talking bs about their unfinished product

      imo an earnest reading of the logs has to acknowledge at least potential evidence of openai’s monetisation loop at play in a very murky situation.
