Think of the alternative? Person uses a tool, tool does what they want, they go about their day.

What are they shouting from the rooftops? Gemini is running my herb garden, my herbs haven’t died yet! This is true: plant selection, pot selection, substrate, feeding/watering routine and troubleshooting is all managed by AI… Gardening isn’t a skill I care to aquire, I just want the herbs. I’ll often use it as a rubber duck to cover basic trouble shooting of my homelab, sometimes it figures out the problem, often it doesn’t but I’ll figure it out myself, keeping me off the forums.

Sure there is going to be shills screaming that their particular spanner cures cancer, or whatever, but the rest of us just use spanners and think/say nothing of it.

I’m sympathetic to the anti-capitalist arguments levied against AI, but only the anti-cap ones and only because they’re anti-cap. They’re right, capitalism does over exploit an environment causing climate change, droughts etd. They’re right, capitalism is unethical. They’re right capitalism does steal the value workers create. None of these problems are unique to AI (Nestle was stealing water long before AI), none of these problems are necessary for AI.
