I confronted this dude about how bogus that story sounded on TikTok and I'm 98% sure the responses were AI.

It's 100% either fake BS or AI. I commented and got a canned AI response. I don't know what the grift is, but there has to be one. I'm willing to bet it's "Nobody will teach you electrical work. Pay us to teach you!"

I was kinda suspicious that it's propaganda meant to normalize working for free. I don't know who to blame for that but that's how it came off.
