AI can’t be all that bad. The problem I’m always seeing with AI is a double-edged sword. You have corporations shoving AI in just about everything, treating it like its a cure for cancer and that really rubs people the wrong way. Then, on a more of a society level, you’ve got people who use AI for an assortment of things like making art with AI and still accredit themselves as an artist to people who treat AI like a therapist when it is not advised to.
However, I’ve found some benefits with AI. For example, I’m chatting with ChatGPT on credit cards, because it is something I may lean towards getting into. It’s helping me better understand than most people have tried explaining to me. Simply because it is giving me a more stream-lined response than people just beating the bush.
For every small benefit, there are disastrous mistakes. We shouldn’t discuss one without the other:

And if ChatGPT made a mistake? How would you know before it’s to late ?
Because all other information on credit cards (or anything else) on the internet available to people eager to learn is 100% accurate, all the time?
That is absolutely the worst excuse possible to shill for big tech that comes with no real guarantees about precision or accuracy.
While there are trustworthy human sources in the Internet, there are no trustworthy LLMs.
I’ll take that over an information tool that lie 30% of the time
I have a friend at work that does a lot of video. He films weddings, music videos etc. and is making a pilot for Netflix. He uses AI to go through all his footage and tag it according to content. E.g. if he needs a clip of birds, he can just search ‘birds’ and it will pull up all relevant footage. Incredibly useful.
I feel like this was a thing before it got put under the banner of AI
It’s very helpful for neurodivergent people - helps you figure out who you are and what you want, how you think, learn and work best, identify your obstacles and help you overcome them, understand your neurodivergency and compare it to how neurotypical people think. It’s fantastic at generating ideas that you then test out. The ideas that it gives you are based on how you actually function, so often times they’re valid.
No one should be using a corporate chat bot to “figure out who they are”.
Eh, you try different strategies and you find things that work. Ai is a tool.
