Something is better than nothing.

A pain plate of rice is bad food. But would you prefer starving too death? Or for others to starve?

AI is like eating cardboard.

AI can make fully functioning computing solutions. That's just a fact and denying it is like denying that a bicycle can roll and only four wheeled vehicles can.

Or saying that a car is a better vehicle than a bicycle. That is probably true, but many times for many people a bicycle is all they can get.

Glad you went for this analogy. It’s like an AI producing a board with a beach umbrella nailed on it and four wheels, and saying “meh it’s good enough for transportation, human car designers are doomed”. It’s functional, right?

If that's your conception of a bicycle.

Yeah. You ask for a bicycle and you get a cardboard box with 4 wheels stuck to it.
