I use it all the time. It is a good partner to challenge me, when I am looking for other points of view. “I believe x due to y. Challenge my point of view”
It helps me explore a topic fast, so that I know the lingo to search for it myself. I use it for making low stakes decisions where it often succeeds, such as shopping and research for shopping. I validate the results every time.
Is it net negative for society, not sure, maybe? Will it go away, no. So we should embrace it, but not the big tech AI, but smaller LLMs.
It certainly is good for helping people make uninformed decisions, for better or worse. Use at your own risk, remember Ai is a slave to the company it works for and it has no problem with lying to you to make that company more money.
Ai is certainly not going away and eventually it will grow into something else. But if we wanted something reliable and consistently useful then we wouldn’t be developing Ai, especially from tech Bros, we would be strictly regulating companies that create Ai. So I believe we as flesh bags need to cautiously figure out a way to live with it because no one is going to protect us from it. Ai represents a way for companies to gather more data while reducing their workforce. Governments see it as a way to reduce their workforce, track citizens and use it as a weapon (foreign and domestic).
Ai is a tool for people who needs someone to make decisions for them, a tool to perform tedious tasks, a tool for surveillance, a tool for interference, a tool for companionship for the lonely or relationship lazy.
Essentially Ai is a tool and it’s up to you how you use it, and as a tool it has no loyalty or emotions, use with caution.
