You are the asshat. These seats are ventilated, not cooled…..so there should be no surprise when cold air is not blown through the seat. Or, do you somehow expect a fan to actually cool your house in the summer?

Seats are ventilated. Not cooled. Our Lexus RX350 has cooled.
No big deal. I like the ventilated but really with the very good AC system in the C8 could go without.
My sofa at home doesn’t blow air up my a** at all and I get along just fine.

Several gm (and most other mfrs) vehicles including the camaro and corvettes since C7 blow air onto you. It doesn't work well. Sucking the humidity off you works until all of it is gone and then you dont really feel much until you shut it off and build it up again.
Take a piece of paper and put the seats on full vent in your suv and watch the paper stay on the seat back from the suction.
Then try it in the vette.
It will just fall off.
Maybe it's done that way because of the tight confines of the coupe? blowing hot air off was not an option? Idk.
Maybe i'll remember to ask at carlisle this year.

In Hotlanta for work and have a Mustang rental. Very first thing I noticed when I got settled into the driver seat…ITS COOL! Drove the C8 at home yesterday and it was 90 degrees at home too. My C8 seats being ventilated never cool off, the Mustang was COLD. C’mon GM you can and should do better than a frickin’ pony car!

I'm usually cold to begin with so the C8 vented seats are adequate for me. Ive had cars with cooled seats and they always gave me the sensation I peed my pants.
