Were you tempted to headline this “You Won’t Believe The Pope’s Latest Proclamation!” ?

WALL-E, though I might go as long as "until the humans show up"

Some disclaimers:
a) definitely not claiming these are useful or high quality
b) reasonable to argue I could've/should've just learned to code
c) not defending the real ethical/environmental/societal related to GenAI
