Proof of Usefulness Score
Lab Mode

The submission presents severe red flags, including grandiose and unsupported claims of developing 'self-aware artificial intelligence' and an impossible traction statement ('most people have used my product'). The reported market cap metric is highly suspicious, and there is no concrete evidence of actual utility, active users, or product-market fit. Due to the lack of verifiable traction and the overwhelming presence of fabricated claims, the project receives a negative score.
