The city is polluted. Do we replace the entire city or install air filters? It's mostly a matter of scale.

I'd like air filters, but AI is not air filters in this analogy.
Is GenAI more like cigarettes ("cool factor", but harmful in the long run), or is it more like cars (noisy and creates pollution, but super-convenient and therefore something most people should adopt)?

I still struggle with this every day. Maybe I'll figure it out someday soon...
