this is purely false. There are so many applications that bring value and if you can't admit that then you are biased in some way/shape/form.
As a sw dev, I use AI to speed up menial tasks or help me find different perspectives on certain things, shit it's even helpful for debugging tricky things. You don't need to be a coder to find value in AI though, things like auto-generated transcripts has been so fucking amazing, especially for podcasting in my case.
I could go on and on. To say it is UTTERLY USELESS is disingenuous at best.
You are quite literally telling on yourself here, you seem to have a limited view of AI application and are judging the entire technology/concept based on that narrow set of use-cases (which appear to be, from your comment, chat bots, porn generators, future weather predictors, not exactly the pinnacle of AI application).
Here you go again! You seem to be equating value to the ability for the tech to function without supervision or assistance. Does AI only provide value to you if it can do those things completely autonomously? What if working with the AI is faster than not using it at all? Is it still useless to you?
They keep using it for really stupid things. I agree all the image generators are bloody pointless, the quality isn't good enough and you don't have the control you need to make them useful.
