> It's super easy, and in most cases, incorrect to hate on AI.

There, fixed that for you.

I'm not saying the haters have zero point, but I find AI far more useful than not. I think so do most people. If I walk into any coffee shop and look over the at the screens of the people next to me, I see all asking AI questions and getting something positive from it. So I don't think "most cases" is correct.

I think you missed my point: it is incredibly useful. But its important to recognize that there are indirect costs that come from it and more in store.

Smartphones are cool, but do you think that they don't have issues?

* Distracted driving

* Attention span decimators

* A culture of zombies staring at their screens?

The list goes on for everything I mention: virtually all of them had some sort of cost to society and it's important to recognize that.

Are you capable of dialectical thinking?
