The central conflict of AI is that it is an industry built on the premise of two very obvious lies. They claim to have made a machine that can think creatively, while also devaluing the creative output of humanity.

If AI could think creatively, then it should be able to train itself on its own output and would have no need to steal the collective creative output of humanity.

And if creative output has no intrinsic value, then they have built themselves a machine worth nothing.

@Lana Simulated Intelligence would be a better name for it, but even that is misleading.

@hwebb @Lana Souped up Autocomplete is what I call it.
And, for what it's worth: I love LLM technology, I hate the industry around it, also.
