What frustrated me with your post was not the argument itself but the sentence "it's fascinating to see the support that this grift has gotten" which feels like flamebait (sorry, I can see how that was not clear).
As for the edginess of what I said, if you take it in the context of money-making and society-affecting use cases it is a nothing burger. Maybe you would have preferred if I highlighted the use cases for fantasy RPG or story telling in general. The grift is in the people trying to push this into things like search and customer support before they can figure out how to make it stick to truths, which makes the energy waste and dollars spent become a very deep trench to defend.
