I'm not mad at you if you've tried to use AI because you want things to be easier.

I'm mad at the people who are telling you that our current "AI" technologies are the solution. Because they are lying to you.

They are lying about what AI can do.

They are lying about why they are making it.

They are lying about what it costs.

They are lying about what will happen to you if it works.

They are lying about what is happening to the world in the meantime while it very definitely doesn't.
