Grift? What is this? Twitter? Stop using such loaded trendy vitriolic language and take this for what it actually is.

Grift?

Yes. Selling AI snake oil is indeed a grift.

It also doesn't surprise me that with the recent hype of AI all over the place, Stripe would be taking extra steps in cracking down on new so-called AI companies and scams selling their snake-oil re-packaged as 'AI' to ride the hype cycle.

This one is just low hanging fruit.

Stop using such loaded trendy vitriolic language and take this for what it actually is.

Exactly. It is actually a 'grift'. Just like the rest of the low effort so-called AI companies sitting on someone else's APIs. It is another plain old confidence trick which is as old as the hills.

There are lots of great use cases for incorporating GPT3 in Google Sheets. It works quite well for cleaning messy data, transforming data, etc etc
