"Will AI ever live up to its <strike>hype</strike>?" Lies. The word needed here is "lies." And no, it can't live up to the lies, because they're lies.
remember that whole story about how ChatGPT aced the bar exam? Oops! OpenAI 100% just lied about that. It didn't happen. Oopsie! www.nytimes.com/2024/05/15/o...

Honestly, it might be impossible to fully state just how much influence Corman had in shaping Hollywood for decades. The man lived to be 98 and helped a lot of people who would go on to be A listers get their start, so hays off to Roger for that.
