I think it's simpler than that. I think the AI snake oil sales people realized that corporate executives want to give themselves bonuses. And if you propose this magical technology, that's going to change everything, they can pretend for several years but it's actually going to change everything, and pay themselves a lot of money in the meantime.

It's greedy people relying on other greedy people so that some of them can get richer.

    Why should the argument source matter? Because the whole point of social media is for people to communicate with other people. We want to share ideas with each other.

    If all you can do is copy/paste, you're a failure. If you were in school, you'd fail for plagiarism. You're wasting electricity and wasting our time. Sorry.

    Or, if all you want to do is share someone else's idea, just put a URL to the place where they said it. Don't pretend it's your contribution when it's not.
