I give it to them for creating the hype (good marketing), and for making a useful classifier. Not sure what they would scale rapidly though.

You can replicate any fitness app in no time and you will make close to $0. Brand recognition matters a lot.
It’s the classic SV flip. You scale your investors, your executive team, your sales people, hire a bunch of engineering you don’t need, then sell the company. The company’s product doesn’t matter, the company is the product.
It’s like openclaw. There was a bunch of technically better ones that came along afterwards, but nobody remembers what any of them were called.

Actually they stolen the idea from a paper.
Either the investors know something we don't, or the market is irrational.
I feel like half the game now is marketing though, so I can see why they'd be attractive to an investor. Maybe if they scale they can come up with something.
