I would kill (figuratively, anyway) to have no AI whatsoever. No slop machine threatening to replace my job, or turn my job into babysitting its stupidity, and hardware would be reasonably priced? That would be awesome. AI has brought me nothing but downside.

AI has freed most people I know from the tedious job of writing actual emails and birthday greetings - leaving then more time to e.g. wash dishes or clean the floor.

Seriously, if arts and creativity is what sets humans apart from other animals, then AI has almost completely displaced our capacity to even consider doing these activities ourselves. People reach for AI when they should be composing a birthday greeting themselves.

and i would kill (literally) every billionaire and every politician in the world to make sure everyone has full access to ai. every time it helps me with code or skipping the boring parts of college or just a random question i think about the billions of people who cant because they live in a poor country or just dont know how to use it.

ai gives people incredible power so it needs to be shared equally, not locked up and controlled. the only ones threatening to replace jobs are capitalism brained humans (or maybe they already lost their humanity way before chatgpt) who want profit at all costs and believe machines can replace people even if theres no evidence. fight the system not the tech.
