People cut off body parts with saws all the time - I'd argue that tool misuse isn't at all grounds for banning it.

There are plenty of completely valid reasons to hate AI. Stupid people using it poorly just isn't really one of them ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

That is the problem though, isn't it?

We're at a point that AI is shoved hard in everything and your mother, yet actual useful applications for AI barely get any attention.

It's all about the useless and criminal like chat bots, nudifier apps, and the hilarious claims that AI really can do software development

It's all pushed by lying psychopaths who convince empty headed politicians (seriously, we need a required IQ test or something for people who want to become politician) to invest billions in their bubble balloons.

Those billions are them used to build new datacenters that nobody wants and which destroy the environment in all sorts of creative ways

This is not a tool used wrong. This is somebody inventing guns and now everybody wants to shoot those guns at everything and your mother.

If tomorrow AI and the knowledge we have about it would completely disappear from the world, it would be a better place.

Sure, but if I built a 14 inch demo saw with no guard and got the government to give me permission to give it to kindergartners and then got everyone's boss to REQUIRE theie workers to use it for everything from slicing sandwiches to open heart surgery, I think you might agree that it's a problem.

Oh yeah, also it takes like 20% of the worlds energy to run these saws, and I got the biggest manufacturer of knives and regular saws to just stop selling everything but my 14 inch demolition saw.

Yeah, you listed lots of the valid reasons that I was talking about. There's no need to dilute your argument with idiots like this

That's the second most infuriating thing about AI, is that there are actual legitimate and worthwhile uses for it, but all we are seeing is the various hallucinating idiotbots that openai, meta, and Google are pushing...

Nah, the second most infuriating thing about AI is people who always rush to blame the users when the multibillion-dollar 'tool' has some otherwise indefensible failure - like deleting a users entire hard drive contents completely unprompted.
