IMO substituting #AI with #elves doesn't work either.
There are few who care less about economic output, transformation, disruption or competitive advantage, than elves. In fact, most of the tales of the second and third ages happened because elves tried their best to keep things as the status quo so they could sit in trees and sing tra-la-la-lally-songs.
We all know who the lord of disruption and maximising economic output is.
@frantictdrinker @alberto_cottica (to be fair, certain first age elves did cause quite a lot of disruption in their hubris, but it didn't come with much competitive advantage or increased economic output)
