Those all seem like great reasons to ignore AI...

When you say ignore AI, do you mean stick your head in the sand and hope it goes away or actively avoid interacting with AI and AI based projects?

I don't expect it to "go away". It was around long before ChatGPT and it'll be around long after it. I'm just crossing my fingers that the bubble pops sooner rather than later so we can just go back to it being just a nonsense marketing term instead of the thing people are talking about every 5 seconds, for whatever reason.

But besides, that, both. Ive been yelled at that AI is the second coming of Jesus nonstop for the last 4 years. And every time I've given it an ounce of consideration, it massively disappoints. And so now I want to stick my head in the sand until those people STFU.

I think the whole market hinges on what is essentially a "false dawn". People think "we're so close" and some innovation is right around the corner that's going to suddenly make it useful, but I don't think its coming. I think we're probably 20+ years away.

"Stolen"

Who has had their stuff taken away from, in a way that they don't have it anymore?

Copyright crusaders have always been pathetic bootlickers of capitalist middlemen parasites who enclose the commons and then demand ransom.
