You don’t have to pay for it. The billionaires do, and they will do it without hesitation

genAI is currently very stupid, and each new version is having diminishing returns on what the models can provide.

Objectively false statement. You can dislike it (which I do too), but you’re totally wrong. AI passed the bar, AI can identify cancer images, AI can do things which very intelligent people can’t. Each new version has surpassed the previous, and companies have started layoffs to replace workers with skeleton crews armed with AI models.

A toy like that is easy to create and not that expensive to offer.

Right, and the developers of Bsky didn’t think to maybe block something that scrapes all that personal information?

Are they a bot??
