you are right, I'm going to sound like a faggot, but it's just another tool,
any anon that reads this, don't fret or worry about AI or it's hype, unless you understand how it works at a basic level.
just look into any specific topic that ai might "destroy" and look up how ai works for that specific task, don't look at the outputs from it, look at how it's made and what it's actually doing, and a poignant thing to look at is the past of it, it's been around far longer than the hype train of it, it's just steadily improving like anything else, but it hasn't overcome it's hard limitations that would push it over the edge.
each part, like most of tech is slowly improving, we've had speech synthesizers, auto text string guessers (llms) in weaker forms, things like google deepmind and the draw with simple colors and shapes to make realistic images for over 15 years from my own memory as a child playing with the older versions of this stuff, deepfakes been around.
yeah it's getting better, but there is no AI involved, it's not intelligent, it's just the same tools being improved, still cool stuff from a tech perspective, and so much easier to practically use, that's the main change with recent hype and investments, the practicality of it, but it's not produced anything that makes me go WHAT.
remember when hype was first pushed about it talking and being able to create fake political speeches and things, it doesn't matter, because normies already eat up fake and gay shit all the time, doesn't change a thing there, and aware people use this thing called reason.
anyway, Ai is being used as an umbrella term and what the term is supposed to mean doesn't exist.
it's just a combined flavoring of multiple tools that are being popularized, chat bots, image gen and what not.
still cool and big breakthroughs, but not the scale people are running with.
