5. Other than the data crunching for scientific research and medicine, what good is it?

For the average person, all it offers is the ability to make cool fake pictures.

For me, it makes way too many of my Google searches useless garbage, rendering it unreliable and thus a waste of my time. Just give me good links!! The 1 or 2 links AI gives to support its weird summaries are often absolute crap, and not reliable sources.

The wholesale adoption of AI for customer service chatbots is the worst. These chatbots NEVER solve the problem I am calling about. Utterly worthless. I always have to insist on a live agent to get what I need. So, they have not saved any labor for the company and have only annoyed the shit out of me and made me hate the company using the damn things.
