This is of course inspired from that "AI entrepreneur" douchebag that spent $745 to commission a treat printer to print out a shitty and soulless whitewashed version of Princess Mononoke and assigned himself that title the way that putting a quarter in a gumball machine makes someone a candy entrepreneur.

I really don't have a good answer. Anyone else?

I understand how you feel about it. I share some of that feeling, too... and it gets harder to make generous appraisals, or to humor concilatory arguments, with just how cold and misanthropic so many of the generative "AI" pushers have demonstrated themselves to be, both among each other while congratulating themselves on their dubious investment and while stanning for it and proselytizing for its inevitable and imminent ascendancy and supremacy in places as far away as here.
