I can see some minor benefits - I use it for the odd bit of mundane writing and some of the image creation stuff is interesting, and I knew that a lot of people use it for coding etc - but mostly it seems to be about making more cash for corporations and stuffing the internet with bots and fake content. Am I missing something here? Are there any genuine benefits?
Lots of it’s actual AI. Nothing we have at the moment I would actually qualify as true AI. It’s just algorithms spitting out and answers what it interprets your question as. They don’t think or create anything, just regurgitate things in predefined patterns.
