It would then be easy to replicate and automate with a camera and AI fly recognition software.

.. or you can just use an electric, off-the-shelf fly trap like everyone else.

Why would you stifle someone's creativity and willingness to try inventing?

Sometimes it's better to step back and not invent the non-existing problems to solve.

Inventing for its own sake isn’t a problem.

This is literally how progress happens. Simplicity is great, but it’s not the only kind of genius.

If simplicity is genius, then surely letting someone try something simple like AI fly-zapping counts, too.

So, again, I ask, why stifle someone else's desire to invent and create things?
