My personal AI dichotomy:

- When I use AI, it is typically useful.

- When other people build and do things with AI, it's slop that I didn't ask for which is waste of resources and a threat to humanity.

This entirely sums up my thoughts on the technology. I suppose it's rather like the personal benefits vs greater harm of using coal for electricity.

This is an interesting point that I can agree with without having consciously realized.

It's easy to use lazily and for use cases that are annoying. But used in the right contexts with the limitations in mind it's personally quite useful indeed.
