These AI Apex predators have a mythical billion-dollar aura, yet when their bubble bursts some may turn back into mice. For now, ChatGPT rules the roost, capturing over 50% of the AI tourist traffic.
But if you peek behind the curtain, you'll see their magic caters more to inky scribes than cybernetic droids. Text, not robots, makes up most of the show, despite theatrical fears of a machine takeover.
