I was leery of AI early on, but people told me it has tons of good potential uses. Sure, it seems to help search results, but almost every other time I hear about AI, it’s for negative reasons.
We’ve had ai for decades and it has infinite uses, finding cancer, observing space, math, doing corporate busywork, etc. the generative ai we have now is only good for hurting artists and culture.
I imagine half the people using generative ai for memes wouldn’t have been able to even get online in the 90’s since you had to shop for a modem, install it in an ISA slot (yes, open the scary computer box), determine compatible IRQ settings and reflect them in BIOS, hardware jumper, and software, find (or sign up for) a valid BBS / internet service, set the proper software protocol, and troubleshoot why it didn’t work the first time. I almost wish my computer made modem connecting sounds when downloading a file. Yes, this is my “walked uphill to school” story. :)
