A horse looks at a car something something. The technology is here to stay and has it's uses, the tech industry will get bored of it's limitations and a new thing will come along for us to scream at. AI has practical applications but I don't think you should dismiss it entirely on principle. I think it's about learning to use this technology practically and ethically in the long run.

If that was happening, I think weโd probably be fine with it. But it just appears almost everywhere, uninvited, as half-baked and soaked in mile-high promises.
I'm more frustrated by the haste with which it's implemented. I've seen (secondhand) instances of this Google search AI spitting out results that are either flat-out wrong (e.g., presenting fan theories as fact in response to a question about warhammeer 40k), or actively harmful (e.g., recommending self harm in response to a search for "how do I stop crying")
