Is AI Lying to You, or Are You Lying to Yourself?

Is AI Lying to You, or Are You Lying to Yourself?

The AI industry is burning four hundred billion dollars to bring in fifty-five billion in revenue, and Ed Zitron just said the quiet part out loud on Diary of a CEO. Carlos breaks down both sides of the bubble debate from inside enterprise tech sales, then makes the case for a mindset that wins no matter which way it breaks.

Ed Zitron just told Steven Bartlett that generative AI is "a con" — and he's got the numbers to back it up. Fifty-five billion in real industry revenue against four hundred billion in capex spend this year. Carlos doesn't pick a side. Instead, he breaks the debate down from inside enterprise tech sales, where he watches AI deals get scrutinized in real boardrooms every week, then pivots into the question that matters more than who's right about the bubble: is AI getting smarter while we get lazier? Question everything, trust no one — including whichever side of this argument you already picked.
