It does provide context for why so many are throwing so much money at it, when experts know they're not going to get a monetary return.
It could be that they're just genuinely huge suckers. But I'm inclined to wonder if there's more sinister motives in play.
Honestly, I think it's less sinister, and more that they legitimately believed that was how the human mind actually worked, so "copying" that blueprint with machines was supposed to result in a reasonable facsimile of a human. Because of the failure, they have to rethink their entire strategy right from the start, which means our entire economic and political system needs to be reimagined.
