'Stop hiring humans' startup Artisan hires humans | TechCrunch

Artisan AI seemingly has one goal: go viral, no matter the backlash. The AI sales agent startup has been making waves for its stunty marketing strategy. So far it’s jokingly replaced the CEO with AI and purchased a self-proclaimed cringey billboard — in the middle of San Francisco — announcing a $25 million fundraise. It also launched a campaign so divisive, the company has received backlash escalating into online death threats.
