AI is a tool, like a hammer. Useful when used for its purpose. Unfortunately every tech company under the sun is using it for the wrong fucking thing. I don't need AI in my operating system or my browser or my search engine. Just let it work on protein folding, chemical synthesis and other more useful applications. Honestly can't wait for the AI hype to calm the fuck down.

You forgot mass surveillance. It's great at that.

The only way it's going to die down is if it gets replaced with the next tech bro buzzword.

The previous one was "smart", and it stuck around for a very long time.

Preach it. I have been so sick of AI hype and rolling my eyes any time a business advertises it, and in some cases moving on. I don't care about your glorified chat bot or search engine.
