Why don't we like "AI?"
You try to put it into everything in nonsensical ways.
It doesn't work the way you claim it will.
You don't pay for the work you use to generate it.
Your intent is labor reduction without a contributory return.
You know it's unpopular so you try to hide it.
You lie about it.

So I'm going to try something else. Let's do this as a practical thought exercise.
