this sentiment is far too commonplace in my opinion.

just because the BMW x5 exists doesn’t mean rav4 isn’t used by far far far more people.

the rav4 is close enough for most people to the x5 and way cheaper.

if deepseek is close enough and significantly cheaper, which direction do we think the market will go once the hype trash moves on and people realize how much of the hype trash is just botted algorithms?
