Greenscreen breakdown of AI business from @shwinnabegobrand
The creator deconstructs a New York Times article claiming AI built a $1.8 billion company.

He then reveals their aggressive customer acquisition strategy using fake doctor profiles on Facebook, arguing that AI is only used for generating fake ads and copy, not as the core business driver.
