    Mentioning AI in marketing signals:

    • Our management has no vision and chases fads.
    • Once this fad passes you’ll be on your own as we move on to the next one.
    • We think you are quite dumb and won’t see how vapid our marketing is.
    • The product probably requires an internet connection and may not work without one.
    • The product probably depends on a cloud service that could be withdrawn at any time.
    • The product probably spies on you.
    • We cheap out on things that would be better done by people paid to do them.
    • We can’t think of anything more specific that distinguishes our product.
    • You’re paying for features you don’t want or need.
    • You’ll be at the mercy of our software updates, which at some point will stop coming and then who knows if the product will keep working.
    • Even before we stop supporting it, the product will only work about half the time.
