    The first versions of anything are never comparable to highly developed versions.

    Ok great, the technology is not there yet, so why is it so out in the public rather than the research labs. I have no problem with AI in theory I just don’t understand why everyone’s talking about is as if it’s a solve technology when it’s so clearly isn’t.

    If I could show you a single example of a single agent being genuinely useful would you change your mind?

    I’ve seen lots of examples of AI doing various things, I just haven’t seen an example of an AI doing something that would be useful to the average person.

      When X-rays were first discovered in 1896 they were used EVERYWHERE. This is what humans do. AI is not unique or special in this regard. A surprising number of people got radiation sickness because of the over-use of the technology.

      And again. Just because you have yet to personally experience a use for a technology does not mean the technology is bad or useless. There is undoubtedly widespread abuse, but this doesn’t diminish the cases in which it is useful.

      Enforce regulation, charge those who abuse it, but the universal claim of “This is bad,” doesn’t help the cause. It just serves to build mindless tribal hate.
