Jersey Mike’s IPO illustrates how bad the AI hype has become

Jersey Mike's recent IPO filing surprisingly mentions artificial intelligence, highlighting the trend of companies unnecessarily incorporating AI into their business descriptions. The sandwich chain's IPO documents demonstrate how the hype surrounding AI has led to its excessive mention, even in industries where its relevance is questionable. The inclusion of AI in Jersey Mike's filing is seen as an attempt to appeal to investors who are eager to invest in companies associated with emerging technologies. This phenomenon illustrates the extent to which AI hype has become a marketing tool, rather than a genuine indicator of a company's technological capabilities.
