Does the sheer amount of claims that boil down to "chrust us" in this text feel fishy for anyone else? They claimed a lot of stuff, but the only thing resembling a description on how the system works boils down to
You don't need machine learning for that. Unless they're using the vague term "artificial intelligence" for something else; this vagueness also smells fishy to be honest.
Perhaps it's part of some effort to counter the bad reputation ai has been getting on the high energy demands? I grew up to be doubtful of any seemingly inoffensive news article out there
Perhaps. But they suck at it - people might be willing to suspend their disbelief and look over small issues when they're overexcited, but AI's phase of overexcitement is long gone, they'd need to show something more concrete to counter the bad rep. And poorly made propaganda is bound to backfire.
