As the AI market continues to balloon, experts are warning that its VC-driven rise is eerily similar to that of the dot com bubble.

    @Freesoftwareenjoyer Gaming isn’t as bad as cryptomining farms and the stuff required by an AI server, man. You need to go look up some of the load on this stuff.

    And you still haven’t gotten back to me on how AI improves society. People too lazy to learn to draw can say they drew something they actually didn’t? That’s not improvement.

      If you have statistics on power usage, I would love to look at them.

      If I want to make a game, but I can’t create music and AI could do it for me, that would be very useful. I would be willing to pay for such program. Or if it could write a program that automates something for you, makes your job or your life easier somehow, that would be pretty nice, wouldn’t it? It lets people do things that they might not be able to do otherwise, because nobody is an expert in every field. If that’s not an improvement for you and you think it’s silly - that’s fine, but keep in mind that we barely just started to use this technology for something useful and it will keep improving.
