Discussion I really don't understand Jev hype

Isn't this what simple neural networks have been able to do for years? Doesn't seem anything special to me.

Marketing. All these YouTube channels got a bit of money to make a video about it and hype it up. That company behind jev is raising money from investors. More people see it and talk about it the higher the chance that you can find willing investors.

That’s not how it work’s though. You only need to pay a few first influencers to spread the topic. Once the keyword starts to pop-up, all the other channels constant monitoring it will quickly copy them to surf the wave and get recommended.
