Is the 7 supposed to be a dogwhistle or something?

Sorry if this is unsolicited, but I decided to put a bit more rigour into it and check the average of 100 netflix documentary trailers from here
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvahqwMqN4M0fmh2gjEqNbUA3uCVMZbDB
And make a chart.

Like so

That dot on the top right is the AI doc.
The dot on the bottom right is UNKNOWN: Killer Robots
The dot on the top is American Symphony
In both of those instances they're comparable on one axis but not the other.
So basically if this chart's correct there's definitely cause for suspicion. Moreso anyway.

Edit: I made a typo in the data, which gave UNKNOWN: Killer Robots and UNKNOWN: Cosmic Time Machine a higher View Per Like ratio than it should have. Here's the new chart: Like So

The new Furthest right are now
American Nightmare
and
Will & Harper

With my extremely scientific method of "clicking on trailers for random documentaries and seeing the ratios" the like-to-view ratio is typically in a range from 1-10 to 1-100. The biggest outlier I saw was probably Will & Harper at about 1-400. The AI Doc is about 1-800. Also interesting is the comments. Will & Harper has about 6400 comments while the AI Doc only has 640, which would be comparable to something like Murder in Monaco, a documentary trailer with about a tenth of the views (and also has a comparable amount of likes).

I'll believe it when I see it.

You could also technically do all of that debugging before you even get to the moon, though. Also has the added benefit of not dying if something goes awry.

Well, sure, but that was six months ago.

So basically subreddit simulator?

You can eat paint. You shouldn't, but you can. He also has a court date so that's quite the dedication if it was a stunt.

Dubai is in the United Arab Emirates, not Saudi Arabia.

Do they really think that using these scummy tactics will somehow result in more positive opinions towards AI?

Well, where would someone complain about their scummy tactics? All the places where they could have were shut down.
