All the money pouring into the system - from investors, from customers, from easily gulled big-city mayors - is chasing things that AI is objectively *very bad at* and those things also cause much more harm than AI slop. If you want to be a good AI critic, you should devote the majority of your focus to these applications. Sure, they're not as visually arresting, but discrediting them is *financially* arresting, and that's what really matters.
