The irony here is YouTube giving the option to use the “speech-to-song” GenAI feature on this video.

AI creates solutions for problems that doesnt exist. Once we have AI shoved down our throats, like we are right now, its the first information we will see. And it will be changed to whatever the bosses tell the coders to make it say.

AI is a tool, and like every tool, it has pros and cons. Everything depends on how it is used. AI is neither “bad” nor “good”, like any tool, it offers opportunities, but the outcome depends on the user. When used with critical thoughts, it can be very beneficial for many projects and daily life.
Think of it as a compilation of information from many sources that you would otherwise need to find and read yourself, condensed into a more accessible form. Now imagine it as a human who is not always righ and like any human, can also be wrong. Therefore, you still need to actively use your brain to achieve a beneficial outcome. AI is not a magical tool with all the answers, but rather a source of prompts that can give you new perspectives to discuss and thing of.

@PiotrKaszuba8403if you have realized that, you don’t really understand AI. It went from winning computer games then evolved into helping human in folding protein, “solving a decades-old challenge in biology”. It will change the way of the world more than anything that you could imagine.

Don’t use generative AI, it’s that easy. We don’t need it. Also, anything from microsoft isn’t trustworthy, especially where data and privacy is concerned.
