Pitch:

"x.ai – artificial intelligence that schedules meetings"

Reality:

"A group of low-paid humans (that may-or-may not have been background checked) will read your emails to help you schedule meetings. They will probably not use this information in any way other than intended."

Those feel like two different products that I would make fundamentally different decisions about.

> that may-or-may not have been background checked

thats funny, I'll pass the background check and still trade on the inside information, I'm short your house right now

Maybe, in the VCs minds, a "group of low-paid humans" is equivalent to "ai."

Shouldn't be much different. In either case you have no idea what the external person/AI will do with your data.
