    It’s definitely a tend but not on the way you are thinking of. The majority of usage from what I understand is shoving AI in places they don’t belong. Google search is a great example of that, a massive fucking waste of resources for people who are too lazy to go to the source and read. Once the hype dies along with a bunch of those useless AI based companies, maybe then we can focus AI in fields where it actually helps.

      AI is already being used in places where it helps. I use it at work multiple times a day. You don’t hear about that because there is nothing to rage about that. It’s a tool that helps when used right. You are talking about the dumb uses, but you can say that about anything. There is a lot of dumb talk about AI it feels like a blind hate echo chamber

          Point still stands bro. You just don’t hear about the other uses. It’s just what YOU hear about, which is mostly dumb AI shit. Just this weekend I used AI to upscale an old 720p video to 4K

            I am well aware of them including ai upscaling, workflow usage, etc. My point is completely different, not on usage of AI.
