Young people think all this AI stuff is great and older folks are suspicious. I think older folks are right this time.

    As any tool, it's as great as its user. I think younger generations are probably more eager to explore and expand, but it's ok to be suspicious when used incorrectly.

    AI is great when used for some specific applications, but I had a discussion last week with someone asking chatgpt about immigration advice... Ehh no thanks, I rather talk to an actual expert.

    I agree with the conclusions of the boomers, but for very different I think long-term AI will produce vastly more harm than good. Just this week we got a headline about google, which is a serious and grown company which already makes billions was up to some fuckery against firefox, facebook has been fined a million times for not respecting privacy and amazon workers have to pee in bottles. To my sadness, all movement against the integration of AI in weapons basically to "kill people" will be very noble but won't do jackshit. Do we think china/rusia are going to give a single fuck about this? Even the US will start selling AI-drones when it becomes normalized. And that's just AI in war, but there's another trillion things where AI will fuck things up, artists will be devalued, misinformation will reach a new all-time high, capchas are long dead making the internet a more polluted place, surveillance will be more toxic, the list goes on
