Exactly, patents used to be for inventors. Now they're for "idea men" MBAs that spitball some bullshit idea with the half-listened-to assistance of a couple tech people.

I feel like there are so many patents in the pool that are just companies waiting for a technology to be actually invented by a clever engineer - but bc the company had the "idea" they have the rights to it. At that point we may as well automate it by having an LLM spit out ideas en masse.
