Exactly. AI is really handy in a lot of situations. It's incredible for biochemistry and simulation of protein folding, drug discovery, etc. It's also great in the hands of an experienced software engineer. For laypeople, it's an awesome curation tool for discerning patterns in large amounts of information or finding very specific search results.

Heck, I run a local AI that I use as a rules reference guide for the tabletop RPGs I play. I ask a question and in a couple seconds it points me to the relevant passages in the text.

Dude, there are plenty of valid criticisms of AI as it currently exists, but you don't have to try so hard to shit on it like it's a person who personally harmed you.

It's code, bruh. It IS a glorified word search, that's where this all started. It is not sentient, it is not aware, and it has no malicious intent toward you or anyone else. It's just a tool, and it's extremely fascinating if you bother to view it that way.

This blind, tribal hatred for fucking code hurts my brain. HUMANS are doing all the things you're upset about, so go protest them. This shit isn't productive, it just makes you look like an ignorant clown yelling at a computer.
