Maybe you're forgetting something but genAI does produce value. Subjective value, yes. But still value to others who can make use of them.

End of the day your current prosperity is made by advances in energy and technology. It would be disingenuous to deny that and to deny the freedom of others to progress in their field of study.

Just because somebody believes Gen ai produces value doesn't make it true.

You definitely didn't read what I said. It is subjective value, it will be true to some.
