AI increases my power utility bill
AI takes my water
AI increases the price of GPUs
AI increases the price of RAM
AI makes my search results worse and slower
AI is inserted into every website, app, program, and service making them all worse
All so businesses and companies can increase productivity, reduce staff, and then turn around and increase prices to customers.
Right, what you said, but I'd remove the part where it increases productivity.
Seriously. The amount of time spent handholding the AIs no one asked to use more than offsets any supposed productivity gains.
What cracks me up is things they are doing that cost more (both money and resources) but don't help at all. Like instead of the press for this or this you get an llm which can only send you to the exact same options. Adding it to IDE's where by and large it does stuff you could get with a variety of addons.
