Until then I don't see what I'd get out of it. I'm good at programming, so all I would be doing is sacrificing my own credibility to prop up theirs. Then there's the skill atrophy problem. I worked hard to develop my skills, and I don't see why I should throw that away for nothing. And of course if these products actually worked as they are hyped to, nobody is going to pay me a livable salary to be a bot janitor long term.
You don't need to prove that these companies have a real product. The burden of proof is on them.
