    I voiced this concern elsewhere recentley, it terrifies me to think of how much energy, bandwidth, computing power, and storage all goes into what is essentially, frivilous, pointless, lazy, stupid bullshit when it comes to AI and what people actually use it for.

      I mean, I am as anti-AI as any rational human being.

      but when you start describing digital things as frivilous, pointless, lazy and stupid bullshit… That kinda describes about 98% of technology and internet usage.

        That is a bit oversimplified imo. The Internet is a storehouse of knowledge, lots of books and videos and news articles, lots of archives. AI cannot produce any real, helpful information.
