Why?

Not trying to challenge you, and I'd sincerely love to read your response. People said similar things about previous gen-AI tool announcements that proved over time to be overstated. Is there some reason to put more weight in "what people on HN said" in this case, compared to previous situations?

Because either:

1. They likely work at the company (and have RSUs that need to go up)

2. Also invested in the company in the open market or have active call options.

3. Trying to sell you their "AI product".

4. All of the above.
