I'd challenge that if you think they're fearmongering but don't see what they can gain from it (I agree it shows no obvious benefit for them), there's a pretty high probability they're not fearmongering.

You really don't see how they can monetarily gain from "our models are so advance they keep trying to trick us!"? Are tech workers this easily mislead nowadays?

Reminds me of how scammers would trick doctors into pumping penny stocks for a easy buck during the 80s/90s.

I know why they do it, that was a rhetorical question!
