It's stealing our water, poisoning our land, is helping erode trust in institutions and each other, hallucinates, gives bad advice and worse summaries, bothers our hearing, raises our electricity rates dramatically, all but ensures we won't meet our climate goals, offers us nothing of value, is something none of us wanted and most of us hate, is constantly being pushed down our throats, and is intended to allow the wealthy to access the benefits of the talented while preventing the talented from accessing the benefits of wealth.

AI is a cancer and must be destroyed.

    It does offer value. It can code up some simple functions that I would need to spend actual time to write. As an experienced coder, I know what to ask for to get decent results that save me time

    I agree that for some coding things it's handy and saves time. It wrote me a WordPress plugin for an abandoned radio streaming plugin so I could get usable stats. It would have taken me a long time to write the SQL and php code by hand, for something I'll likely never do again.

    It didn't get it entirely right first time though.
