I used to be an optimist for the implementation of A(G/S)Iafter reading Wait But Why’s explanation of it.

I think AI can have huge positive effects on AI. But the way marketing has ran with it… Everything suddenly needs to have the label even if it doesn’t really qualify. The environmental impact of people doing stupid, unnecessary things with AI is huge. Not to mention societal impact of AI companions.

If AI was designed by any other species than humans, it might’ve been interesting.

I’m really sick of how pervasive it is everywhere now. You can’t sell a product or provide a service nowadays without advertising some AI aspect. I wish that would go away.

I actually pay for a chatGPT premium account because personally I find a lot of value in it. I use it to help with writing, picture analyzing (what species of … is this), and a lot more. I just wish I could decide when I want AI involved and when I don’t.
