They are just harmless fireworks. They are even useful for signaling ships at sea of dangerous tides.
Todays “AI” is just machine learning code. It’s been around for decades and does a lot of good. It’s most often used for predictive analytics.
Even some language learning machines can do good, it’s the shitty people that use it for shitty purposes that ruin it.

Sure I know what it is and what it is good for, I just don’t think the juice is worth the squeeze. The companies developing AI HAVE to shove it everywhere to make it feasible, and the doing of that is destructive to our entire civilization. The theft of folks’ work, the scamming, the deep fakes, the social media propaganda bots, the climate raping energy consumption, the loss of skill and knowledge, the enshittification of writing and the arts, the list goes on and on. It’s a deadend that humanity will regret pursuing if we survive this century. The fact that we get a paltry handful of positives is cold comfort for our ruin.

This statement tells me you don’t understand how many industries are using machine learning and how many lives it saves.

That’s great. We can schedule it like heroin for professional use only, then.
