I don't see why this argument works better against AI than it does against microwaves. Those are used hundreds of millions of times a day too.

    You’re right. But if I had to pick a why, I’d go with how microwaves at least provide a service for households by heating up food.

    AI’s only viable service (at the time of this writing) is a replacement for viagra for techbros when they need to get an erection.
