The thing I've found with AI tech bros is that they're rarely interested or informed about any creative process, and instead are much more interested in typing shit into a web form that spits out some garbage that they can pretend that they created.

It's like arguing with people over NFTs or whatever, we could get down to the technical details and the merits/flaws with the concept and current implementation, but at a certain point it's like trying to tell a flat-earther that the world is round or an anti-vaxxer that vaccines have saved millions of lives over the last century. I really don't want to be an ass to any of them, but after months of trying to get through to them I'm kind of over trying to talk them through it.

Yeah same experience I've had. As a rule of thumb they lack the understanding to even talk about what they are so hyped about. It's sad really. When I'm ready interested in something I want go learn about it. Instead they are interested solely in how it could make them money. They don't care whatsoever about it's actual utility if there even is any.
