    You’re right, we don’t “need” most modern conveniences. But they save us time and provide an improved quality of life. Why do we need power tools? Why motors? Why electricity, running water, artificial light? I joke, but AI is one of a long chain of tools designed to save us time, or extend our capabilities and reach. Why are you particularly opposed to this one over others? I return to my argument: AI is concerning because of its potential for change. I don’t think we can prevent it from existing, but we can make it accessible to normal people and not solely the domain of the rich.

      I’m talking mostly about ads and random plastic shit polluting the earth. Which ties to planned obsolence.

      AI makes sense in many places, but fuck LLMs, we can do better.
