Has the War Against AI Already Been Lost?

I recently had an epiphany on this.

I used to work telephone customer service for a cell phone company in the early 2000's. Horrible job. One call I got was a teenaged girl who'd ran up a $1000 texting bill. Chances are they wound up taking a partial amount on that bill, which was still more than the monthly charge.

Cryptocurrency has already cratered and A.I. is currently losing billions of dollars a year because these new tech things do not make money and have no way to fleece early adopters the way successful tech did, like cell phones.

AI has a lot of legitimate applications, but art is not one of them. We've invested over a trillion dollars into shitty image generators and unreliable Google alternatives. Elon's robots STILL rely on unseen, human pilots, because they can't be trusted not to embarrass Elon and make all his investors think all their money has been wasted on junk nobody needs. AI has eroded our trust, as artists have to prove they actually made what they made, and tools like Sora make misinformation easier to spread than ever.

I was unaware that some people thought the Forbin Project was a current reality.
