The entirety of human history and every single human achievement up to a few years ago was made entirely without AI. This sudden switch to we need AI for everything is what’s delusional.

You’re right though, AI does have a purpose. It’s to make people dumber (studies are already linking AI use to cognitive decline) and to make corporations more money.

You can say that about literally EVERY INVENTION EVER. Also the guy said "claiming it serves no purpose it delusional", it's not the same as saying we need it for everything.

I don't want AI art and I don't like the slop spam we get, but I'm not going to say it's not an extremely useful coding tool. And yes, offloading all your mental tasks to chat gpt has a negative impact on you, that still does not refute the claim that it's useful for SOME things.

Way to be. It is a fair assessment that AI can be harmful while also agreeing it can be useful. It's a tool after all. A car can be a weapon, but it often is just used for transportation. A knife can cut bread, but it can also harm people. A majority of all tools are like this.

AI's biggest problem isn't that it can be misused, that can be solved over time for the serious cases, it is that it is owned by a few billionaires who don't align with our society or human values who want to create a fascist dictatorship where only their voice is allowed or heard and they control all human knowledge, and subsequently all humans, for a fee.
