This is extremely good news and they should also buy their codebase. There’s a lot of alpha in buying dead people’s WhatsApp chat history and so on

more colloquially it's your 'edge' over your competitors
Now you can build a failed startup with the help of AI!
Slop in, slop out.
This is closer to failure in, failure out.
