You could've just looked in my post history, but I'm guessing "calling me out" was more important to you than any actual determination of the veracity of my argument. It's not the first time I've called it a grift or the last time that I will. As for the edginess of what I said, if you take it in the context of money-making and society-affecting use cases it is a nothing burger. Maybe you would have preferred if I highlighted the use cases for fantasy RPG or story telling in general. The grift is in the people trying to push this into things like search and customer support before they can figure out how to make it stick to truths, which makes the energy waste and dollars spent become a very deep trench to defend.
