I still don't see how that works. Mr Jensen steps onto stage, says "AI" and money magically appears? Why? How? What's the point of all this?

Things like new cars or phones are at least feeding an illusion that you're benefiting from them somehow (even though you're really not), so the common Joe will want it. But why would the common Joe want AI? Sure, there's no feature, but there's no illusion, either. Just buzzwords and thin air.

Because they're in a hurry to get on the train of replacing human slaves with an AI (and its proprietary hardware). We've (the slaves) built them an empire(s) which now only need maintenance work. And the humans aren't perfect for that job because of many (philosophical) reasons.

If only we tried to replace actual human slaves (manual labourers), and not creative workers!

We're all slaves in their eyes (They - I'm talking about people that rule the world, not the country leaders, or other minor puppets).
They desire to build an entity(s) that possess all the knowledge accumulated through the lifespan of many generations and genius individuals, but so that it can be turned off by pushing a single button, so it doesn't become a threat (to them) by any means.

Stock, not sales. Though too many consumers see "AI" and go "ooh, shiny" in the same way investors do. Anyways, since most executive salaries are primarily stock options, driving the price of stock up is the primary focus of executives.

And investors bite because "AI" is the next revolution and will change the world. Or so they hear.
