@warandpeas Your point #4 doesn't get as much play as it should. There's so much the tech industry can and should do to apply "AI" to the kinds of tasks that computing itself was created for: to take the drudge out of time-consuming and effortful task, liberating people to do what they're good at: creating original works.
Instead they're trying to create ersatz humans to swamp the latter with reprocessed derivatives. Because it's easier to raise VC for sexy stuff like that.

This is a good point, and it makes me wonder what all these genAI developers are doing with their free time: what gives their lives meaning and purpose? Is it only making money, and they only view art as “content” to make them money?
Because I know a lot of people who enjoy creating art, crafting, writing, etc. Even those who only “consume” it (hate that term) appreciate it as a meaningful contribution, and don’t want AI to do it instead, as it loses any meaning.
