I don't use AI at all in my daily life.
Work however will demand you use it.
AI is not here to help people.

AI is not here to help people.
For example: seat belts are here to help people (by reducing the severity of injuries & the likelihood of fatalities).
There currently is no path towards profitability, it's just a question of whether you can grab funding before it dries up.
Viable AI companies will one get to profit. Firms layoff qualified people because AI is much cheaper. Now there's no easy turning back, so if AI service increase prices by 50%, well you don't have option.
True, but it isn't here to not help people, either.
It's a spanner. Who wields the spanner, makes all the difference.
We've spent the last couple of decades, cultivating a huge crop of ultimate scumbag billionaires, with comically exaggerated sociopathy, and that has filtered down to almost every level of society. They are treated as gods, these days (they certainly think of themselves that way).
It still shocks me (but really shouldn't), on a daily basis, to encounter regular folks, interacting in stores and restaurants, or driving on roads, that mirror the values systems exemplified by our billionaires. Our politicians act that way, and one of their biggest selling points, is normalizing sociopathy (not just the US, either).
The tool analogy is intentionally minimizing, and doesn't capture just how different rented tools with constant surveillance are.
We live in an age, where the mere thought of personal Responsibility is terrifying.
Replacing people is what C-suiters think of it (and many of them aren't billionaires).
