It turned into my replacement of Google for shallow questions.
Might be worth keeping in mind that AI-tools 1) consume huge amounts of electricity and 2) tend to hallucinate.
Why it’s not great:
1) is self-explanatory.
While 2) isn’t relevant for creative tasks, it is problematic when you expect facts. Unless you know the answer yourself, you can’t be sure the AI hasn’t just given you some bullshit, even if it’s only about spellchecking.
Many who use the energy usage argument against AI usage are extremely often unaware how much energy the things use which they use daily… and a lot.
Binge watching streaming videos, gaming, and google searching, YouTube etc. All uses energy and if you calculate usage per person per day per hour average it’s often the casually used stuff that adds up way more

Yea, as someone who uses it daily I know it’s limitations very well exactly because I use it so much.
Ps: playing graphics intense computer games costs more energy.
If your alternative to using AI is gaming, that’s sure a valid point.
It’s more about the discussion itself.
