Oh now AI is getting hired ..okay. Let me wrap my head around this. I am too stupid apparently to understand either Bitcoin or this AI stuff. What is going on? Does anyone know how AI can be hired?

An AI is a computer program. You can buy and sell computer programs. You are not stupid, you just need to look at it differently. They are looking for someone to design an AI program to suit their needs.

I think someone is trying to get three different AI systems that they can run in their business without building their own AI system. Of course, the AI systems they "hire" won't be the full system but only sub-system routines that are set to run anything the business wants to run. Pretend for a second that you want to "hire" ChatGPT to do something for your business. The owners of ChatGPT will tell the AI to do whatever you ask while it's still doing all the weird things it does every day on it's own or for the owners of ChatGPT. You're simply paying for that service. IF I'm understanding this correctly, at least.

That does make sense to me too @DaddyEvil. I'm also pretty dumbfounded when it comes to all this technology and AI stuff.

I will never understand Bitcoin. Or AI for that matter. I think they have to hire someone to formulate the layout for what they want done in AI.

I'm still rebelling against the AI movement - so I've not a clue .
