Yep! That’s my problem space right there. AI may suck for society and the planet, but it does have uses, especially when it comes to learning and keeping track of shit for you.
It’s really good at aggregating data from Reddit posts and other forums. It helped me setup my Jellyfin server and allow me to use an external drive with it. 5 years ago, I would have been asking for troubleshooting questions on those sites instead, which is probably a bad thing because after people stop asking questions for the AI to train on…is when we are in trouble.
I hear you, every bit of it. We are letting ourselves become carbon copies of carbon copies.
Then again, I doubt this is the final form of AI. They are building those data centers for a reason. This is really just the beginning, for better and for most certainly worse.
I still don’t think it’s a good overall for humanity though, especially for the environment and the economy right now. This golden calf is not something we should praise too much.
If hardware ever goes back to normal prices and apus get faster, having your own personal AI in your pocket without a data center would be pretty cool though. That’s far in the future though realistically (if there really even is a future worth living by that point haha).

You are absolutely right.
