When you see Tubby Lucky say, you have to do AI first before you ask for a headcount and prove to me that you tried AI first before hiring somebody, do you think this is a sign that these organizations are AI washing or do you think these recent ones are more, hey, we're going to do more with less and the size of these companies will be smaller?
because of AI.

He's a securities litigation partner at a firm called Ackerman.
He and his colleagues have started to warn that we could start seeing shareholder lawsuits
against companies that engage in this type of AI washing because he thinks it's a type of puffery, right?
Because essentially what the company is doing is attributing their own non-performance or their operational issues to AI when in fact there are real problems in the business and therefore it could be a form of securities fraud.
