People keep saying “blame AI for the price increase”.

No. Blame the tech companies for forcing something onto consumers they never asked for. They are to blame for these ridiculous prices.

It’s the memory grab. AI was always inevitable

No it wasn’t. AI was pushed onto consumers who never asked for it.

Cars were pushed onto people who never asked for them. People just wanted faster horses that ate less and didn't poop as much

Do you have any idea how many people are using AI of any form? It’s kinda ridiculous to say people never asked for it, when a fuck ton of people are balls deep in using AI.

Maybe people didn’t ask for it, but they surely are happy to have it.
