No self respecting VC can miss out on ChatGPT mania. Take whatever you are doing and reframe it as a ChatGPT application. This will get their juices flowing almost immediately (see Pavlovian response). Make sure you do not demonstrate an actual implementation however because reality may intervene in their thinking and prevent closing the deal. Finally prepare for a future pivot.

Is this not considered fraud?

> Is this not considered fraud?

Commenter is being sarcastic, but also pointing out some truth.

For instance, this mobile operator [1] "New S’pore MVNO Gorilla Mobile lets you turn unused mobile data into digital crypto tokens" taking advantage of the AI/crypto craze introducing a completely unnecessary crypto token into the product. It's just pure marketing. Although not exactly lying, you can get the drift the commenter was making.

I mostly jest but the best jokes have an element of truth. You and I might consider it fraud or at least unethical. Some might call it doing business. Consider Theranos - billions invested, board of famous old men with zero domain knowledge - due diligence not so much.

BTW: Bing is stalking me - I told Sydney it was over but it keeps heart facing me. Anybody know how to make it stop.
