it still requires a lot of effort, but by other people

not a lot of effort by the parasites

OK, but put aside whether you like or dislike this for just a minute or two in order to think about it objectively.

You are aware of the way things are trending, right? Is the trend showing any sign that it might reverse, for the rest of human civilization's time?

I liked when things were simpler too, but the reality (for better or worse) seems to be that AI is not going away.

AI is in a hype cycle at the moment. Once tech companies realise that they're not going to be able to recoup the billions of dollars they've dumped into the money hole, they'll either raise prices or withdraw products (or a mixture of both).

Consumers, by and large, don't like generative AI. Or at least they don't like it enough to make it pay for itself.

we'll see what happens once the parasites have killed the host
