They are not talking to us, but to the shareholders and investors. They are offering a fantazillion phone sales to the people who are giving them money so they can get more money.
It's the exact same pattern we've been seeing with all things AI since its launch. This kind of big talk is aimed to please investors, even if it's a plain lie (which, with AI, has always been the case).
pretty much, a new AI startup or thing is being advertise like every month or every weeks here in cali in order to get people to buy into it.
"Want to cook the perfect steak in 90seconds or less? Imposible, you say! Preposturios, you say! Well with the power of AI it is now a reality!"

Of course you just spent $3500 on a perfecta grill so you'll probably have a tough time buying steak now
guess what, DATACENTERS run so hot you can just place your steak on the machines.
I just don't see the thinking here.
I could spend a fucking fortune, enough to live on for months, to cook my steak upright in a toaster for 90 seconds instead, for a worse end result, and it would save me zero time, because cooking the steak is not the time-critical step here.
Would only save you time if you're buying the kind of steak that can be cooked in 90 seconds, and taking it straight from the fridge, cooking it, and then putting it in sandwich, and anyone who thinks that sounds a good idea frankly doesn't deserve to have a decent steak.
Ahh you see you are falling back on those outdated human skills of "critical thinking" and "logic" where we are using the superiour more modern way of "asking AI" and a ~~$3500 toaster~~ over priced unitasker
It's fun to see the stock market itself reach the ultimate phase of enshitification
