Yeah we all hear the main arguments... AI is bad because of slop content, stealing from creators, brain rot & brain damage, privacy concerns and most importantly... how billionaires are just using it for their own selfish reasons

​But I'm asking about YOU 🫵 personally. The individual. What do you really think about AI? Do you care or are you indifferent? Has it actually affected your day to day life?

AI is not so useful as ~~people~~ techbros want make us to believe. sure, it can help you to create a quick drawing or logo, or help you to structure a html webpage, maybe even help you to summarize a long text that you don't want to read, but it's not as futuristic or useful as we've been told.

their cons (being too wasteful, too pollutant, stealing from creators, being an endless brainrot and fake news generator) overwhelms the usefulness. maybe if arrogant pricks like techbros weren't behind it, most people would appreciate it
