Yes. I used to share your viewpoint.
However, recently, I've come to understand that is AI is about the inherently unreal and that authentic human connection is really going to be where it's at.

Don't give up. We have already won.
I think KaiserPro is saying authentic human connection doesn't "pay the bills", so to speak. If AI is "about the unreal" as you say, what if it makes everything you care about unreal?
