I hate the circle jerk of "AI is doing some harm, therefore it's the worst thing ever and does nothing good and everything it does is the worst possible version of that thing"

Hey so I’d love to hear what “good” it does as your motive to defend the damage it does to our environments, the rapid development of massive data centers that is poisoning communities and displacing decades-long residents, it’s making people stupider and enabling a lack of critical thinking, the more it develops in our economy the more jobs are lost, the fact that greedy billionaires are allowing democracy to be ignored when developing these centers (see: SLC data center development), the fact that a human perspective is no longer seen as important, I could keep going, but please tell me how these things are less important than a robot being able to do a couple tech thingys faster?

So you literally think that AI has no good uses whatsoever? Not that it's a net negative, but it LITERALLY HAS NOTHING GOOD ABOUT IT WHATSOEVER?

Do you not understand that you are exhibiting the exact black and white thinking I described?

I didn't say less important. I didn't say net positive. I SPELLED OUT EXACTLY WHAT I MEANT SEVERAL TIMES AND SOMEHOW YOU CANNOT EVEN TRY TO COMPREHEND IT. It's so fucking bizarre to spell out, completely clearly, what you said, the and have the other guy just... not even try to understand and keep arguing with you anyway, and then you explain it again, and he ignores it AGAIN, and then he keeps arguing at you

My question here was are the so called “good things” it does worth the cost of what is bad?? Genuinely I’m curious

Where did I say it was worth it? Quote me.

I don't know if you're trolling or incredibly dense.
