NO use of AI is good.
I am engaging with this, because I want to believe Lemmy can be better than Reddit.
That being said, while I agree that LLMs and diffusion models should never touch anything close to art, anything that is life or death and anything legal or financial, it's important to remember, AI is an entire subfield of research in Computer Science, its many decades old and encompasses so many technologies that I could not even name them all.
LLMs and diffusion models are two of its many impressive achievements, we literally solved the natural language processing problem. It took us like 70 years, and because some silicon valley ghouls' rhetoric, we get (supposedly) well meaning people talking like Luddites.
Fundamentally correct, there is a machine now that can replace some workers, but technology isn't the problem, the capitalists are. This technology can make so many people's lives easier, so many things better and it doesn't need to be expensive or cause harm to the planet, because all of that is a fundamental problem with capitalism, this is not leaded gasoline.
