The AI vendors aren't just confusing you. Some of them are actively misleading you.
The FTC just fined Cox Media Group and two other marketing firms nearly $1 million for deceiving customers about their AI capabilities. These weren't small startups. These were established companies making promises their technology couldn't keep.
You bought that tool. Nobody used it. $200 a month gone. And you blamed yourself for picking wrong.
Stop. This wasn't your judgment failing. This was an industry with no accountability and every incentive to oversell.
Here's what that FTC action actually tells you: the AI hype machine is starting to face consequences. Which means the honest vendors who can prove real results are about to get a lot easier to identify. Regulatory pressure forces transparency.
Your move right now is simple. Before any AI purchase, ask one question: "Can you show me three clients in my industry who saw measurable results within 60 days?" No case study, no contract. That single filter eliminates 80% of the noise without touching your existing systems or spending a dollar.
One honest vendor beats ten flashy demos every time.
Have you ever bought an AI tool based on a great pitch that completely fell apart in practice? What happened?
