I started reading this post until "AI influencers" and was surely about to be annoyed.

Then, I realized that the rest doesn't apply to me. I actually understand the technology and realize its not the end of the world, nor is it the savior of all mankind.

It's a tool. Like all tools, it works for specific things if you use it correctly.

It can summarize a limited (but not small) amount of data accurately. It can correct grammar and spelling mistakes. It can describe an image fairly accurately to help those with visual impairments and to help neurodiverse describe things *for* folks with visual impairments or for other uses.

It has many uses. Just not "Actual Intelligence", as you can see it's not actually called that. That's why I keep getting SO confused why people keep trying to replace humans with AI for things it obviously needs intelligence for, like interpreting laws, medical advice, etc.

AI is a *tool* that can *assist* humans with jobs, given that they know it's limitations and can reliably work around them. It's not a replacement for actual humans.

I use it to make alt text and to assist in realizing my creativity.
