A.i is a tool and it does do great things. It is an advancement in tech like the engine, factory, and computer.

We can use it to help people and to improve the world if done right.

Tell it to all the people losing jobs.
And of course
AI significantly impacts the environment through massive energy consumption, high water usage for cooling data centers, and increased electronic waste (e-waste). Training and running AI models, particularly generative AI, requires vast amounts of electricity, largely sourced from fossil fuels, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions.

But the assholes in charge don't want that. You know, the same assholes that own AI. You think AI will restore funding to
USAID? You think AI will not shovel the shit its owner class wants shoveled. You don't think AI will heavily curate the information
it provides you or models for you at the behest of the same owner class? I've got a bridge to sell - you interested?
