- Springboards is building an LLM designed to generate a wider variety of responses than its mainstream rivals, per a summer interview with its CEO.
- The Springboards CEO told the author "we often say that we're a self-loathing AI," a line the author says has stuck with them since the call as a framing device for the article's inquiry into the gap between expressed AI hatred and continued adoption.
Why it matters: The piece uses Springboards' "self-loathing AI" self-description to crystallize the disconnect between widespread public resentment of AI and sustained usage — a gap that complicates how AI startups position themselves to skeptical consumers.
