I think the question of speed is entirely tangential to what's being discussed here, to the point of being inconsequential. We were discussing whether AI makes everyone's life worse. My point is that I can do stuff now that I could not before, and that makes my life better. It's a very useful tool for me. It also doesn't matter to me whether it makes me faster or slower at stuff I already could do before (but if it makes the experience more pleasant - sure, why not).

It's fine (though a bit unhealthy) if lemmings want to bury their head in the sand, pat each other on the back and try to convince each other that nobody can ever possibly find the evil machine useful, and those who claim they do are just lying idiot AI-bros, but if even my non-technical parents use it - you've already lost the war, sorry.
