No. I was very aware of how exploitative the Google economy was more than 10 years ago. See

maybe it just stings for me because of the way one of my businesses was failed and how mad my wife was at me in the few years it took me to pay off our HELOC.

Getting mad about generative AI like getting upset in 2024 about Martin Luther King getting shot or Japan invading Perl Harbor. AI might be a good reason to not post about assembly language programming for the C-64 or how to make web pages with Flash and Cold Fusion.

Why do you post to Reddit or Hacker News when it is helping somebody else get (or stay) rich?

The advantage of generative A.I. is that it is not so two-sided so it will be a lot more competitive, today you are getting ripped off by a company in Silicon Valley but when the cost effectiveness of LLMs improves by 100x you will also be getting ripped off by people who live in places you never heard of.
