They’re not a big tech company, not really, there’s no reason they would have the necessary compute to develop an AI in the first place so what they’re really announcing is that something that no one expected them to do is not going to happen.
In similarly news, Crayola are not going to develop an AI.
That said, they’re not likely to license an already made AI for their projects either, which is also nice.
