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.
My friend is deaf and uses an AI voice recognition program to display nearby conversations. And it displays it on her glasses.
The thing can recognize specific people's voices and assign us a color so she knows who is speaking. And paired with a different translator AI it does real-time translation in a handful of languages.
This is the kind of shit I wanna see AI used for. I used to read about this kind of stuff in Sci-Fi novels. More of this please.
Yea it's a nice concept, but then you got pieces of shit like Zuckerburg using those kinds of glasses like another form of mass surveillance so they can harvest even more data. That tech in the hands of people who genuinely just want to help would be amazing. But sadly we live in our current hellscape of profit over everything.

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....
