> We should be pissed at how often corporations lie in marketing and get away with it
Some of us are pissed? The rest of us want to exploit that freedom and thus the circle of life continues. But my point is your own naivete will always be your own responsibility.
If you say so
I think that's a pretty shit way to be though.
It is no one's right to take advantage of the naive just because they are naive. That is the sort of shit a good society would prevent when possible
What good society?

Lol give me a break - this isn't cigarettes or homeopathic medicine we're talking about here. It's AI bullshit and primarily the "people" getting take advantage of are just other greedy corporations.
Those of us who are not sociopaths do experience some anger at this outcome. The thing you haven't noticed is the "freedom to lie" is not equal among companies and is directly controlled by "market capitalization." You have dreams of swimming with the big fish but you will almost certainly never attain them, while simultaneously, selling out every other option you could have had to genuinely improve everyone's lot in life.
My point is you present the attitude of a crab in a bucket... and, uh, that's not exactly liberty you're climbing towards.
