Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is.
GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart.
But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

I wanted a whole film series where the guy on the right is the lead detective trying to solve the heist and the twist is he was the thief the whole time.
This photo accompanying a news story about the heist at the Louvre is perfection.

This is why I hate Humble Bundles. They're advertising this sale as a charity fundraiser, but only 0.5% of the purchase is actually being donated.
If you want a boat load of cheap games, buy the humble bundles.

Having ADHD is like being the only Knight on the chess board. Everyone else thinks in straight, predictable lines, but you can only move from subject to subject at slightly obtuse angles that don't make sense to anyone else.

The only thing a dismissal of an entire genre EVER tells me is that the person making it isn't actually well read.

100% this. One of THE most important things you will learn or ought to learn as a bookseller (OR writer OR reviewer OR avid reader) is that all genres are valid, there is groundbreaking work happening right now in Every Single Genre, and to STFU on reductive, condescending takes.
