The only socially acceptable position here regarding AI is that it's total crap and will never improve.
Completely divorced from reality. But Blueskyers don't want to face reality.
I understand that many feel threatened by AI, but denialism and uninformed attacks on experts are counterproductive.

I'm not sure AI is good for humanity. I think it could very well be catastrophic.
But it's useful, for many tasks, and getting better. It's not going away, much as we might like it to.
And the longer we Blueskyers disparage it, the longer we exclude ourselves from the conversation.

My background is in software development. Absolutely, AI can replace entry-level coders today.
AI could replace weaker educators in my sons' schools.
And AI is rapidly improving.
I'd love to discuss how to regulate it and strengthen the social safety net.
Denialism blocks that conversation.

I use AI in my work sometimes, but the amount of resources it uses can give me pause. I imagine 30 minutes of processing uses a lot of energy and fresh water.
I'm curious whether and how you choose to use AI for various tasks is influenced by how much energy you think it will consume for them.

We did it! It took more than a day, but we went from practically nothing on paper to submitted in a month! Happy to share resources.
