Nice. I got to hear Maya Angelou speak at my university many years ago. It resonates to this day.
The comment about "why do you hate AI?" reminds me of this, which I recently read: "The rise of Whatever." And that's what I think is so awful about AI. AI is good enough when all you need is _something_. AI is better than nothing, so if all you need is more than nothing, AI will do. But if you care, if quality, or novelty, or depth matter, AI will not do. Too many people are satisfied with whatever and since AI produces whatever in infinite quantities, it seems to fulfill a lot of needs. I think people feel wealthy with knowledge and resources because they have an infinite stream of whatever at nearly free prices.
And as a GenXer, I consider myself an expert on "Whatever." 😀
