They are supposed to promote innovation, in practice, it's more about protecting guys who sitting and waiting for passive cash.

Once we give exclusive rights to all AI stuff to Nvidia, is the world going to be a better place ?

What would be with ChatGPT if Google actually had enforced (or enforces) patents on Transformers.

Is the world better since we have to pay a license to use the word "Smiley" and not "Emoji" ? (a >500M USD per year business btw).

If we take the position that an inventor should be able to try and get profit from their invention how can we protect that without patent system?

But most software patents aren't inventions; they're just brain farts with money behind them. They might not be trolls, but they went to the toilet, had some random idea I had 20000 times in my life already, but they patent it genuinely thinking it's anything original.

There are many none trolls, like the famous Amazon one-click buy one; everyone in web dev invented that in the 90s by themselves; they patented it. How is it worth protecting?

If you did invent and put the time and effort, how about selling your products; if someone else does it better, that's life. Especially in software; the pain is in the development and finishing, not the invention. The idea is absolutely worthless, outside this broken patent system.
