I'll say it only once: I hate AI!

AI is fine in and of itself - I use it daily to help me save time on mundane and low priority tasks, allowing me to focus more of my time on the things that actually matter. It's allowed me to game plan and scope projects with a greater sense of efficiency and has helped me think outside of the box when I needed an out of the box solution. I know it's limitations, I don't expect it to do my job or think for me, and the information it spits out is always fact checked by me before implementing any solution into a production environment. Anyone who thinks it's a genie rightfully deserves to have their lives wrecked by it, imo. It's no different than responsible gun ownership - a well trained, well educated user can effectively use this tool to better their lives, while those who are reckless with that same tool cam cause real harm. Now, that said, I absolutely hate the way data centers are being subsidized by tax payers in terms of electricity use, the absolute destruction of the electronic ecosystem over the past 2 months (RAM prices are now 3x what they were in August, for example), and how catastrophicly bad the infrastructure behind AI is to the environment. There's plenty to hate about the way AI is implemented, but at the end of the day, it's a tool, and it's looking like it will be a necessary one for the immediate future. I learned long ago not to fight change, and it's served me well so far.
