Charles Stross suggested "Blarney Engine"

That's an interesting point. It also aligns with how some of our main characters are involved in trying to organize a steroid olympics.

Our anti-AI milita will be called "The Artists' Rifles"

That said, if things improve both in terms of the quality of responses you can get from models as well as reduced costs to run them, then there is definitely huge economic potential.
