I can see some minor benefits - I use it for the odd bit of mundane writing and some of the image creation stuff is interesting, and I knew that a lot of people use it for coding etc - but mostly it seems to be about making more cash for corporations and stuffing the internet with bots and fake content. Am I missing something here? Are there any genuine benefits?
If by AI you mean current language learning models then it looks like it can do some useful stuff and is worrying how close it is to doing amazing things.
If by AI you mean a more general concept of artificial intelligence then yeah. Intelligence iis one of the most important resources for getting what we want. This is not to say there are not valid concerns with AI but the potential is crazy, like humans not needing to work levels.
