I’m using it extensively, for instance, I have to create contracts with businesses that I work with, and AI is really helpful, works within minutes, and I don’t have to get a lawyer involved (I have sufficient legal know how, to be able to check the texts). I ask Claude.AI many questions, which help me to find out about any kind of topic (eg I wanted to know more about mobile nuclear reactors and got a quick summary within seconds). Naturally, you should take nothing at face value, blindly believing AI won’t do you any good, AI does not replace your brain. I create marketing materials and personal profiles with the help of AI, and I’ve also improved my CV. I have even used it to write a message to a friend who lost their son to cancer, I truly was at a loss for words, but AI helped me to come up with some useful sentences (which I personalized). All in all, it is extremely useful, even to answer questions here on Lemmy.
AI is mass surveillance
AI is identity theft
AI is privacy invasion
AI is built on theft
AI use leads to cognitive decline
AI is responsible for multiple child suicides
AI is environmental destruction
It is not possible to be an ethical user of AI tools at present. If you use them you are contributing to and complicit in the problems they create, which vastly outweigh any short-term convenience benefits. If you use AI tools you are participating in a destructive system.
