    Yes, but there’s zero fucking actual benefit.

    Seeing memes posted here that use AI while sitting on it is the most confusing thing to me.

    Just… don’t use it, people. The hole burning in AI bros’ pockets will close up if you just stop making it profitable. Even the free ones are making money with ads. Don’t use it, even for a joke.

      People like you wouldn’t have seen the benefit in cars vs horse and carriages, computers vs typewriters and books, or watches vs sundials.

      I bet you think that the only thing AI is used for is ChatGPT style conversations too.

        Theoretically, sure there’s potential. But it shouldn’t be getting used as a commercial product in the meantime.

        Especially generative. Letting it write, compose, create… All of that is 1,000% a mistake. The kind accessible to the public can’t currently create at scale without unethical access to source material.

        It shouldn’t be getting shoehorned into every job possible while it’s still in this pre-alpha kind of state.

        Although I don’t actually know the ratio of research use vs casual use, tbf. But this shit gotta be litigated and used properly with proper guidelines, not just thrown out like this.

        It’s still way too early for this shit. Our willingness as a species to just jump into new tech should have been tempered to be smarter by now.

        Maybe I would’ve been reluctant about those technologies. But I am convinced with data. And so far I’ve only seen problems with it, no actual benefits.
