"At a time when AI is being relentlessly pushed, puffed and promoted as the most thrilling and promising development in human history The AI Con comes, like a sorbet in the middle of a fatty banquet, as a refreshing zing of common sense...This book peels off the layers of hype and bombast to reveal the truth of how current AI models work and...[how] what is being sold as AI offers us nothing in return for the theft of our ideas and our sovereign privacy, while further enriching and empowering the already bloated tech giants who feast from our data." - Stephen Fry
