I agree that they're floundering, and that they're desperately trying to dig themselves out of a hole (if you'll forgive the mixed metaphor), but I don't think it's useful to chalk up to AI mistakes what is actually demonstrably a human marketing decision.
Double post, but:
I just now realized I fat fingered my own semi-manual autocorrect, and did not originally use 'They contracted', which is what I meant.
I have accordingly here made log of my revision commit, which should now be reflected above.
Apologies for any confusion this may have created, derp.
I agree with you... its the people and the way they've basically conditioned themselves to act, not the LLM.
Also, to further confuse the metaphor:
You can't dig your way out of a hole that you flooded, doesn't matter how hard you pedal your mind bicycle.
