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.
I agree there is a lot of annoying hype. However i also agree there are some specific use cases where it can be helpful.
I for one find it handy some times when i am writing bash scripts to do things on my system. I obviously check them before running but it does save time.
Although i do recommend running models locally if possible as it is obviously preferable from a privacy and cost standpoint.
