Feels like the advances in AI are generally bad for everyone except nvidia and cloud providers. (You could argue its great for someone who can't code, but chatgpt and others are quite misleading, and I think they might be better off just learning to code.) AI was interesting when it was a bunch of researchers showing off cool demos, now its just horrifying.

There are examples of good things from it — the species ID suggestion tools on iNaturalist come to mind.

A lot of the generative tools are mostly destructive though.

Yeah, although that example kinda is one of the older, not very commercialized, tech demo uses of ai. It still could be misused, but the harm that could come from that specific app is very very minimal, compared to most uses of ai now.
