'I watched someone ask ChatGPT to count words in a Word file — so I bought NVIDIA'

The gag plays on the gap between how average users treat AI as a basic calculator and what the technology can actually do, while wryly implying that even such trivial use cases are enough to keep propping up NVIDIA's stock.
