Good thing silicon valley is pumping billions of dollars and burning through unimaginable natural resources in the midst of a climate crisis to make systems that compete with commercial artists by selling cheap knock-offs of their artwork and relieving us of the burden of doing things like writing school papers or heartfelt personal correspondence or making animated avatars for instant messaging. There's money to be made, so why use this amazing new technology to solve humanity's actual problems instead of just shoving a bunch of mediocre who-gives-a-shit features into people's phones?
