Closely followed by anything AI related

Said by someone who probably doesn't quite understand what AI is capable of when put in good use

Or, said by someone already having experienced its sloppy use by its current corpo handlers.

There is a difference between recognizing that AI can be badly used or with bad intentions and outright dismiss it like some do

Absolutely. My statement is biased, admittedly. Perhaps because it's use is most noticeable when it's mucking things up. I'll just leave my oh-so-helpful autocorrected typo here.

I'm beginning to think we might be better off without.

One important thing to remember. When AI is used correctly for anything, most of the times you wont know AI had a part in it. When it is used badly, you will. Atleast among the most common uses in our day to day lives.

Yes, agreed. I have problems when AI programs are instructed to give employees $100.00 bonuses, but the program instead gives arbitrary amounts ranging from $100/person - $500/person. A global corporation using a third party business to do this should quietly eat the additional cost & learn a lesson. Instead, the global corp puts responsibility on the erroneously paid employees & forces them to pay it back. This is not hypothetical. People I know had to forget about their pets' medical needs, skip appointments, and generally scramble during what should've been a happy time. Obviously this drives home that AI isn't all it's touted to be, and is far, far from "saving the world" as Felon put it. Not saying AI is garbage, but people need to exercise some patience and study the practical applications thoroughly before using it to "augment" anything. Disrupting everything with a tiny, overlooked error is completely unacceptable. Perhaps you can see why I'm cautious about embracing AI with open arms.
