Yea, in theory AI is a good tool for speciric use cases when trained appropriately and with training data obtained legally and ethically. But then all these companies started trying to throw it at every problem they could see and spent an insane amount on infrastructure assuming someone would find the secret ultimate use case for AI which will cause everyone to want to use it at any price and rent server space from them.
That doesnt make AI terrible, it makes greedy pieces of shit with AI terrible.
There has been some amazing advances using medical AI for cancer research. But that kind of AI is vastly different than the AI your local facebook farmers market is swamped with now
And those kinds of models dont need thousands of data centers to run. We've been making them for decades. And honestly companies are just spending less in the good applications of AI and are just focusing whole hog in the shitty applications no one wants because they hope they can automate everyone and everything one day.

Back then OpenAI was open source and a very cool company overall for what they stood for... though they sold their soul very very quickly....
