Does it have a use? When lasers were invented they were a just a curiosity until somebody figured out how to use it for recording data, before that point it was worthless.
I find AI useless, I can't stand it on my phone, my streaming box, on my PC, on websites. Its truly junk, like 3-D television, remember that?
Now they're pushing it as a digital assistant, as if regular working people want some sort of personal slave. I'm sure rich people love owning slaves, but they rest of us don't.
I'm hoping it will just go away.

AI is useful for solving complex problems, AI is a reference tool (that includes AI images)
 
It has potential but everyone is using it in the dumbest of ways like me

I’ve actually journaled a video on this exact topic >>362283
It changed how I see ai. No, it doesn’t make skills obsolete, not at all. But it offloads work to enable you to do more things. Perhaps the way everyone is pushing it right now is very stupid, companies use this as an excuse for layoffs, etc… But for example it helps me analyze huge amounts of information and introduced me to many books.

It seems to me they very much do. I think majority of people would love to own some slaves, especially if they won't need to worry about human rights.
I hate the push for "use a digital assistant" as well, but I now realise that's because of the trust issues. There's no way I would trust even a real human assistant/slave/valet with most of the things people easily trust LLMs with.

It's just a better google and a mediocre coding agent, still better then nothing.

Pretty much. It gives me good info but you still have to put the effort into coding. Maybe it depends on the area of the project, of course, I've heard AI managed to make full blown Minecraft clones or something. So far with C++ low level stuff, it gets confused often.

It does have uses.
 
Perhaps an aspect that usually isn't mentioned. I think lotsa people uses it for validation and even attention. Since most people has no idea how to use various models they stuck with the first one like ChatGPT with it's comforting responses, encouragements, gentle disagreements, responsive inquiries...
Also lots of people uses it for procrastination instead of productivity.

AI is excellent for the purppse for which the Internet exists, ie. looking for information.
 
Once thermodynamic computing comes into play, AI will become. much more than that, it will take over everything
