Being born to narcissistic parents was extremely controversial in my childhood home. I was the selfish little ingrate in the house who kept asking for things even though they already provided a house and food most of the time, and that was very polarizing for my parents.

Apparently arguing in favour of AI art is pretty controversial, but then the anti-AI luddites are about as intractable as trump cultists, and their arguments about as valid, so fuck 'em!

the luddites were happy to use the new tech, but not for less pay and worse working conditions, so they trashed the machines - and history has sadly looked down on them ever since.

It makes no sense to pronounce "jpeg" as "jay-peg" because the 'P' in Joint Photographic Experts Group clearly makes a sound like the 'F' does in 'fell'. Saying it like "j-feg" is more correct.
