Do people seriously buy this?

Schiffmann has also posted a series of user testimonial videos to his personal X account

Like i can only assume these are fake, has anyone ever seen this actually used?

Yes and the person using it had an MBA, were already deep in computer-fucker psychosis, and I think may have been getting paid.

Friend is leaning hard into "all press is good press" and it shows. I've heard an interview with at least one tech reviewer who tried this thing out and, unsurprisingly, it was absolute garbage.

I've never heard of this used anywhere else, but take that with a grain of salt
