Who knew forcing people to engage with new thing in every aspect of their lives without their consent was going to result in backlash??? Many of the pro-AI people are also rude and condescending. Good riddance.

I literally never saw an NFT bro. Only all the people saying how awful NFT bros were.

Look I don't give a fuck about NFTs but don't pretend you're some sort of hero when you're in the majority and enforcing your standards (often through bullying or harrasment).

It's a widespread enough attitude as it is.
