I'm not gonna be a dick about it, but you really shouldn't be asking AI (or at least not a language model, use a reasoning model) things like this and accepting what they say as fact.

The information these models have is out of date

The information these models give is inaccurate

You were taught how to research in school, do the math yourself instead of killing your critical thinking skills by letting an AI do the work for you.

I literally asked it to guesstimate and stated as such:

For the fuck of it, I asked AI to guesstimate the market share

It wasn't presented as fact. In fact I even provided the reasoning so if anyone wanted they could rip it apart, because I felt that makes more sense than just posting a conclusion without context

It provided absolutely nothing to the thread, your "for the fuck of it" is literally just "hey, here's some dumb shit that just takes up space, has no value and no reason to be trusted, and I wasted a thousand times more energy to make it happen than if I just had written a comment". Stop using AI, you're only making yourself dumber and wasting so much energy on bullshit. Be better.
