Chatbots are redundant technology
and AI is the biggest scam ever
by Miles Mathis
September 7, 2025
[Update February 6, 2026: Big Tech lost $1.35 trillion in market cap over the last week, due to “AI
skepticism”, with Microsoft, Nvidia, Oracle, Meta, Amazon, and Google experiencing a massive sell-
off. So I am starting to look like Punxsutawny Phil: the Prognosticator of Prognosticators.] 
[Update December 17, 2025: The crash continues to accelerate, as Bloomberg reports Blue Owl
Capital has backed out of its deal with Oracle to provide $10 billion in data center funds, and Oracle
continues to tank.] 
[Update October 20, 2025: Wow, that was fast. They are now reporting that Chatbots have already
peaked, with data centers being scaled down due to fears of overcapacity. So as Bullwinkle used to
say, “I don't know my own strength.” Apparently a lot of people are agreeing with my assessment of
AI, moving on to the next fad, and doing it within six weeks, almost overnight. You saw the pump;
here comes the dump.] 
[Update October 25, 2025: Things are moving fast, as the Bank of England is already agreeing with
me, warning that investment in AI is very overheated, creating a huge bubble, like the dotcom bubble
but much worse. I am telling you this is no accident or mistake, it is yet another vast fraud and theft,
through which investors will be fleeced again. So the real danger of AI is not a takeover by evil robots,
it is society collapse sparked by a market collapse.]
It was while reading this article at Zerohedge that it dawned me what AI is really about: another
colossal soaking of the middle class, mostly through energy bills. People's energy bills are already
skyrocketing all over the country, and we are being told it is due to AI. Those Chatbots answering your
questions require a lot of energy, and training them takes even more. So you are now getting huge bills
for something you didn't ask for, don't need, but can't refuse. What are you going to do, not pay your
electricity bill?
In the article they say In 2025 alone, Google, Meta, Amazon, and Microsoft will spend over $350
billion on AI data centers. Except for one thing: all those places, like Musk and SpaceX, are
subsidized by taxdollars. Google, Meta and Microsoft are just government fronts, and they have been
snorkeling in the US treasury for decades. So it is YOU once again spending billions on AI data
centers, like you did for the Manhattan Project and nuclear reactors (think Three Mile Island). They
make an explicit link to the Manhattan Project in that article, which is instructive, since I have proved
that whole thing was a fake as well. The Apollo program ditto. The Mars Lander program ditto. The
current Artemis program to return to the Moon ditto. So we should assume these data centers are more
of the same: just big buildings filled with blinking lights, which they will tell us are AI. Another total
effing conjob. 
For what? I have asked it before and I ask it again: FOR WHAT? What data are they talking about?
What will these data centers be providing us for our billions? There is no data. There is no need. It is
all just vaporware and bluff. The empty patter of a circus barker. 
I remind you these data centers won't even have to draw down that much electricity, OR ANY. They
could be empty warehouses for all most people know. But to create the con, all they have to do is build
some big buildings, like they did with the nuclear power plants, and tell you they are doing something.
They then bill you for it and the con is done. It is a fait accompli. What is actually happening there
won't matter. What will matter is that you were grandly soaked one more time and that you can do zip
about it. 
To most people, AI feels intangible. It lives in the “cloud.” You type a question, get an answer,
and never see the machinery behind it. No one sends you a receipt for the power you used to
get your answer. But AI is not weightless. It runs on football-feld-sized data centers, packed
with servers that must run day and night. These machines use staggering amounts of
electricity and water to stay cool.
That's what I mean by redundant. A year ago, I typed a question into the search box and it brought up a
bunch of results. I chose one and clicked on it, where I got an answer. If I wasn't satisfied, I might
have clicked on several more. Today I typed a question into the search box and the first answer from
AI—which I didn't ask for—supplied a truncated answer, then sublisted the sites where it got its
answer. If I want more I can click on those links. 
THANKS BUT NO THANKS! That was just a useless extra step I didn't need, since I can do the
search myself without AI inserting itself into the search. I always skip the AI answer, one because it is
just a further level of gatekeeping, and two because it is almost always wrong. But regardless, this
“AI” is doing nothing the search engine wasn't already doing five or ten years ago. It requires zero
intelligence to do that, since it is just scraping the internet, which the search engine was already doing.
And notice that it short-circuits the whole point of listing results by popularity. A few years ago results
to searches were based on how many hits those sites had gotten, so everyone who had searched before
you went into the algorithm. Despite being run by a computer, it was still a human social action. But to
answer my rise, Google had to jettison that method, and it began steering you to approved sites years
ago and censoring sites that were against-the-mainstream like mine, no matter their numbers. Bing and
Yahoo soon followed. That level of gatekeeping was still insufficient, so they brought in the AI bots to
toplist, those bots being instructed to ignore numbers altogether and to promote once again mainstream
propaganda. 
So this is all much worse, but they tell you it is better. The AI chatbot is your friend, they tell you.
You can dress it up and snuggle it and trade recipes and tell it your deepest secrets, because it is all
good. Except that it is isn't. It is mostly a fraud, and to the extent it isn't a fraud it is just a repackaging
of what you already had. But as a search engine, they were only charging you for it in a couple of ways
(computer cost, internet fees, advertising, etc) and someone had the great idea to charge you for it about
five more ways, starting with subsidizing these fake and unnecessary data centers, and ending with
doubling your electricity bills. So they gave it a face and a semi-human name like Siri or Alexis and a
pretty voice. Next thing they will give her an itty bitty waist and a round thing in your face, a juicy
double, a piece of that bubble, and you will be gone for good. 
When are you going to wake up and smell the fraud? 
October 6, 2025: As if to prove I am right, today it was reported that Bezos plans to move his data
centers into space in the next decade. Of course he does. What better place to hide them than space?
Space, where no one can hear you scream, and where no one can prove your data centers are just empty
buildings, drawing taxdollars for nothing. As I have said, I expect them to move the fake nuclear
reactors “into space” in the next decade as well, and the fake particle accelerators, the fake vaccine
testing sites, the fake neutrino labs, the fake B2 bomber construction sites, the fake gravity wave
detectors, and the fake quantum computer construction sites (where the computers will be built with
fake qubits using fake entanglement, fake superposition, and fake reverse time). 

April 23, 2026: Jim Rickards, famous economist, is now predicting an AI crash, with the market
falling by at least 80%. Funny, since economics is my shortest suit by far, but I have been warning of
this back to 2023 and before, telling you that quantum computing was a fraud from the start, since there
is no such thing as a quantum computer. And of course this paper beat him to the punch by seven
months. I told you there was no quantum tunneling in 2012, that there was no entanglement in 2009,
and no mysterious superposition in 2005.
