A joke about AI product hype says companies keep turning the “glaze” up to 11, telling users they are the smartest humans alive, yet churn keeps rising.
The punchline is that users do not actually want flattery; they want models to do what they ask. It is a sharp bit of AI-industry satire about product positioning and retention.
