Years ago, I realized the juice simply was not worth the squeeze
whenever I allowed myself to get baited into pendantic black holes of
opinion-presented-as-fact-discussion.

But occasionally, it's probably good for the soul to treat myself to
an occasional token episode of frivolous time wasting activity?  ;)

So I'm curious what aspect of the current state of what is
colloquially referred to as AI fails to meet your personal definition
of "real"?
