The problem is that AI can’t create anything new, it can just remix old stuff.

Here’s a test: Try to make your AI system of choice create a picture of New York’s streets without cars.

Most people can’t afford to buy new cars period.

This doesn’t stop people buying 10 year old ICEs. You can still buy a 10 year old one in 2045.
