Same thing at the company I recently worked at-- a maker of software for car dealerships & manufacturers.

The product marketing mentions AI.

I asked a staff data scientist (has been with company for several years) if AI is used in our products.

"No."

It's quite amazing how pervasive Fraud & pseudo-Fraud is in the American economy. Regulators seem to turn a blind eye to so much of it. A recent example I saw was Food adulteration, with things such as sawdust [0]

I don't think adding cellulose to processed food in order to prevent caking is food adulteration. It's clearly listed on the ingredients and is perfectly safe.

I do think it's fun to point out in the ingredients list, sometimes it's a little unexpected, like on a bag of chips. "Mmm, sawdust" is kind of funny because it sounds bad but is completely harmless.
