I don’t like it. (For clarity, I will define AI as neural-network programs that use pattern-seeking to create output.) It uses way more power than it is good for, and altho I sometimes put climate change on the backburner due to necessity, it emits lots. It does not build things like houses and airplanes, its advice cannot help people fix things, and despite the talk of people I’ve found saying “it will get better” it has not done so proportional to the resources put in. Despite most image-generation programs creating incredibly realistic forged images, they have no use in actually making anything valuable, nor in recording things. It is not like carbon dating, the steam engine, or the soda can. It just eats electric power and shits out lies.
