I don't want AI to give me coupons for the cheapest food available.
I want to be able to use my bike or walk to buy tasty, nutritious, locally produced goods every days.
OMG, is AI going to stop us from doing that?
Don't you understand that everything bad is ai?
No, but it's absolutely burning through huge amounts of power and water to churn out garbage. Can't bike to the store if it's 130 degrees due to unrestrained climate change.
Less, 'we're using AI wrong', more, 'is AI even worth it?'.
In it's current iteration and implementation, yes. This iteration doesn't have people's interest at heart and saying otherwise is dishonest. All it is going to do is continue with the status quo, continue isolating people, and set the infrastructure for mega corp agricultural stores like how Amazon does it.
"I don't want AI to do this thing that some people find useful, I want to do this other thing myself."
Okay, you're welcome to do so. What does that have to do with AI?
