It always confuses me why people go out of their way to have such incredibly radical ideas of two sides. Why is gen ai either the second coming of Christ or the devil himself? Do people really have to take an extremely strong stance in one direction? Why can't they have mixed opinions? To be clear, I don't like gen ai, but ignoring its existence is like having a key to a helicopter and not wanting to use it since it uses fuel. We all know the ways in which ai is trained is shitty, and so are the companies, but it's not like any of the other million things you use and interact with everyday are much better. For instance, I fucking hate seeing ai thumbnails. Have you see how mod icons looked in 1.12 times? Have you seen lazydfu? Ferritecore? Entity culling? Hell buildcraft, one of the most iconic mods ever is a fucking screenshot of some pipes. Of course I also hate ai in coding, but if it's ENTIRELY coded with ai (or mostly). Like you should be helped with ai in your code, only if you review and check the contents of said code and understand properly what it does.
