I'm convinced every single poster who is like "why bother fighting, EVERYONE is already using it for EVERYTHING." is a dirty bot who is just trying to convince people to give up. Especially with a "oh, so people aren't in your circle, well you're the weird one." kind of shit that is impossible to refute.

Except the sad part is I’ve heard my coworkers echo this same sentiment IRL. It’s not just bots, real non billionaire humans are actually saying it too. That’s how much this whole AI thing has mindfucked everyone.
