Careful, singularity bros who crawl Lemmy are going to attack you because one of them has a really niche case where their sapient printer helps them with their side gig programming and printing leaflets and fliers, which while it hasn't actually turned a profit or done any good for anyone, it gets LOTS of support on the PrintGTP forums, and someday EVERYONE is going to have their own sapient printer and have a business selling AI generated leaflets and fliers and nobody will ever have to work again.

If you don't start using sapient printers today you're going to get left behind!
