Every Reason Why I Hate AI and You Should Too

@nprofile1q... I agree with your arguments but "hate" is probably too strong a word.
I tend to look at the hype with amusement and make fun of it when I can. I don't hate generative AI, and have used it myself, albeit very rarely (about half a dozen times so far). In those cases when I've used it, I found it more useful than the alternative. It just needs to be used with caution.
What I do hate is GAI being stuffed down our throats at every turn. ChatGPT alone is occasionally useful. GAI in Windows, every browser, every web site with "tech support", every mobile device is simply annoying.
Will it cause more harm than good? I don't know. The general dumbing down of students and flooding the Internet with bullshit are causes for concern. I don't buy the "it burns the planet" argument. If it weren't using the energy, that energy would be used for something else. Better a flawed advisor than mining Bitcoin, I guess.
The hype is certainly unwarranted but it will eventually collapse, leaving only the useful stuff, just like what happened with the DotCom bubble. I don't know if what remains would be economical enough to warrant the costs - but I'll leave it to the free market to decide.
