    What do you mean? AI is super helpful, it is doing great things in many fields, including biological research, simplify life of many, supporting and helping people. It is just an umbrella name for many different complex mathematical functions.

    Clearly there are bad uses, as any powerful technology. And it is important to highlight them. This is a bad use of AI

      Which altruistic thing is it that the AI that pays your bills does? It appears to me that AI is used for acceleration of war, deceit, and theft and conglomeration of ideas and art with no unique thoughts or perspectives. The people who own the technology will use it to enrich themselves at the expense of those who can not afford it. This is what I mean.

        Some of the models I built help preventing frauds on customers, i.e. help them keeping their money.

        Others support and simplify work of colleagues. There are jobs that are difficult, not pleasant and stressful in my industry, and there is an high demand from people to get help from AI.

        I don’t know your job, but AI can be very helpful improving quality of life of people in many roles.

        BTW AI has been used by artists for years now. I am not talking about generative AI. Photoshop is full of non generative AI tools. Even the spam filters of your email provider are likely nowadays AI.

        You should have a deeper look to all enormous variety of AI applications out there
