Same thing could be said about a fishing pole. Or car, or rifle, or a bicycle.

It helps inexperienced users to catch fish.... But with some knowledge and experience can get more out of it.

    Not the same at all. You don't have to be a gunsmith to kill someone with a gun. You do have to be a knowledgeable engineer to produce anything that isn't slop with "AI".

    A MUCH better analogy is construction. Do you want a bunch of teenagers and Main Character Syndrome dipshits who cannot even read blueprints nor understand regulations and building codes let alone know them, to build your house? Nono, it's OK! They have nail guns and modern lumber, they don't need to know all that!

    Sure you can get a shed or even a small house out of that, but you're never going to get safe, modern, multistory construction like that...

    It's a tool, not a product.

    There's no such thing as 'just a tool', especially if that tool is accelerating climate change when we're already on the knife's edge of irreversible domino effects.

    Sounds like y'all are afraid, just like the HVAC guys and the mini splits.

    Also sounds like that writer needs to learn to use a fork.

    You don't think climate change is a massive threat to our habitable biosphere?

    Yep. That's clearly what I'm saying./s

    Now I can see why you thought that article was a rebuttal though.

    Your response to my comment mentioning that AI's contributions to climate change were equivalent to HVAC workers being afraid of heatpumps.

    If you think climate change is an impending global disaster, do you think building giant data centers that require extremely polluting on-site power generators is not a particularly bad idea, and should factor in heavily on how this technology is used or promoted?
