Capitalism’s biggest lie is that people have freedom to chose what to buy. They have to buy what the ruling class sells them. When every billionaire is obsessed with chatbots, every app has a chatbot attached, and if you don’t want a chatbot, sucks to be you then, you have to pay for it anyway.
It’s just about convincing investors that you’re going places. Customers don’t have to want your new features or buy more of your stuff because it has them. Users certainly don’t have to want or use them. Just do buzzword-driven development and keep the investors convinced that you’re the future.
