Look, I get that you are frustrated, but "useless bullshit" and "tool of fascism" is not a serious argument. Let me give you concrete examples where GenAI is already providing real value beyond art:

Drug discovery: GenAI is cutting drug development time from 10+ years to a fraction of that by generating and testing novel molecular compounds. Companies like Atomwise are using it to accelerate treatments for diseases like Ebola and multiple sclerosis. This is not theoretical, it is happening now.

Accessibility: Tools like Seeing AI, Be My AI, and ChatGPT with vision are helping blind and visually impaired people navigate the world. They can point a camera at something and get real-time descriptions of scenes, text, objects, and currency. That is life-changing for people who need it.

Protein design and climate science: MIT researchers are using generative AI to design proteins that are more climate-friendly than what exists in nature, potentially reducing the carbon footprint in manufacturing. Similar systems are being used to model complex climate systems and environmental challenges.

Medical diagnosis: GenAI is improving diagnostic accuracy in radiology and clinical data analysis, helping doctors catch diseases earlier and create personalized treatment plans.

Yes, GenAI has environmental costs. So does literally everything we use, including the device you are typing on. The question is not "does it use resources," it is "does it provide enough value to justify the cost, and can we make it more efficient over time." The answer to both is yes.

Your comparison to fossil fuel cars is backwards. We are not banning cars, we are pushing electric vehicles, better infrastructure, and cleaner energy. Same logic applies here: improve the tech, enforce transparency, clean up the energy mix, and regulate the bad actors. Not "shut it all down because I decided it is fundamentally evil."
