AI is just what crypto bros moved onto after people realized that was a scam. It's immature technology that uses absurd amounts of energy for a solution in search of a problem, being pushed as the future, all for the prospect of making more money. Except this time it's being backed by major corporations because it means fewer employees they have to pay.

I have and don't see the relevance. The argument is that it is useless and then mentions a use case. If you want to say it's crap I won't argue the point but you can't say X and ~X.
