I tend to agree with that. I also hate that of all the great uses for generative AI, this is the direction they took the tech. It’s not a replacement for whole jobs, and I knew that at the onset, but so many dumb business types thought it could replace entire departments, customer service, etc.

Conservatives love big business and fascism is the result when capitalists fear societal regulation and conservativism seems threatened.
