  Come on, this is not a “showerthought”, this is just an opinion. Put it elsewhere.

  Moderators, please wake up.

  It is not something anyone needs in their personal life, but it is an amazing tool when used correctly.

  We don’t need bag clips, either. But they make life easier.

    that’s an insult to bag clips which are actually useful and aren’t based on FUD propaganda

    Which part of AI is actually going to make our lives easier? I use it occasionally to get me out of a coding problem but what else will it actually be good for society and in our daily lives?

    As another said, it will do more harm than good and will only serve megacorp in the end.

      What we refer to as “AI” today, i.e. large language models (because the definition of “AI” has changed over the years), is just a search engine that can understand natural language. Think the Enterprise computer on Star Trek, but even smarter. That’s extremely useful once we work out the final kinks.

      “Ignoring when AI makes my life easier, how is it going to make life easier”?

  I’m not sure this is a shower thought but agree with you completely.

    The potential benefits are astronomical - essentially an utopia. However I still agree with the potential harms being even greater since that would be the end of human civilication - or worse.

  I think you’re referring to LLMs which are just one tiny facet of what we can do with AI. But there are so many other use cases (disease diagnosis, weather prediction, spam or fraud detection, just to name a few), so we shouldn’t disregard it as a whole. I agree that generative AI is being overhyped these days though and it’s also making me mad that it causes people to think that’s all there is to AI.

  I certainly need AI in my life more than I need you.
