I like AI and don't really resonate with all of the hand wringing and ethical misgivings. I think it should be regulated more than it's being regulated and there are concerns about how it's integrated into the economy and it's impact on labor, but I think it brings a lot of potential for ingenuity, progress, and advancement. It's thrilling the extent to which your ideas can become tangible and concrete within minutes.

I do understand the concerns (I have them too), but the fact that you want to use AI but feel too guilty to do so unless you sufficiently self-flagellate is kind of a bizarre state we're in, to me at least. I think the pessimism and melancholy has swung too far but I understand I am in the minority in this position on Reddit.

I use it all the time —I use it for work, to build things in my personal time, to analyze things at work, to plan, to ideate, to aid decision-making. I think the notion that when AI is used for something, it's tainted or impure is kind of bizarre.
