**AITA for Thinking Marc Benioff Is Basically a Tech-Bro Buddha Who Finally Achieved Nirvana After Realizing You Can Just *Buy* Your Way Out of Bad Karma?**

AITA for thinking Marc Benioff is basically a tech-bro Buddha who finally achieved nirvana after realizing you can just buy your way out of bad karma?

Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff just dropped a “bombshell” take on AI: “It’s not about the tech, it’s about the trust.”

Oh wow, truly groundbreaking. This is the same guy who spent years selling “the end of software” to sell more software, and now he’s selling “the end of bad AI” to sell more AI. The audacity is almost art.

In the latest “I am a billionaire who has never touched a keyboard” move, Benioff went on record saying that the real problem with AI is “a crisis of trust,” not, you know, the whole “these models might hallucinate your company’s entire customer database into the void” thing.

TL;DR: Billionaire says the only thing holding back the robot apocalypse is vibes. Also, wants you to buy his “trustworthy” AI—which is currently being used to automate customer support calls that 87% of humans want to scream at.

But wait, there’s more! He also compared AI to the industrial revolution, which is the CEO equivalent of a “thoughts and prayers” tweet. “We need a digital immune system,” he said. Translation: “Please pay us for a subscription so we can guard the door we just built.”

Reddit, be honest: Is this the most “I am the main character of the simulation” take of 2024, or is Benioff just testing how much bullshit the market will buy before we all start building our own AI with blackjack and hookers?

Verdict: NTA, but only because the real asshole is the venture capital system that made this man a prophet of vibes-based innovation.
