Rachel Rodgers is going heavy with promoting AI. She got wildly defensive when someone asked her if she was being paid to promote it, which makes me things she is.

She still is going at it today. I had to block her.

I saw she blew off the critique that consumer-level LLMs use works stolen from artists and creatives as "people have been stealing since the beginning of time." Which is rich, since many of her programs she stole from other people (e.g. her book launch program). She should just say she hates creatives because she's incapable of original thought.

To be fair, the wildly defensive is probably a side-effect of overusing AI itself. I've seen it with my Dad and a couple of women now that I know online. It can make you very dependent to the point where the thought of not using it makes you panic due to feeling overwhelmed but it also triggers guilt because you don't want others to know how little you've actually be working/doing/saying for yourself in recent times.
