Oh yeah, all that is definitely worth the list of negatives
Don't get me wrong, there are good applications for AI, but its damn near literally 99.9% utter crap versus the 0.1% "oohh, really actually nice!"
Is it worth it? I'll say a million times no. I wish we never got any of this AI trash, because I'd still have a job, I'd still be able to buy hardware, I would have to worry about people making porn videos about me daughter, my family wouldn't have to deal with AI scam calls, I'd still be able to host a nice website without it being slaughtered by AI bots, and I can go on for a while.
The very little pros do not even make a dent in the negatives
