Of course, I enjoy it too, which makes it easier than if I was grumpy about new technology.
I love tech, despite what passes for "AI". Unfortunately, as we get into the 3rd/4th generation of users that are only taught how to deal with the abstraction, people seem to be more of a slave to the tool versus the tool doing what you want it to do(with "AI", actually seeing it earlier in some cases). "AI Pause" is a thing with coders and waiting for their autocomplete "AI" assistant to finish, even when they actually know what they should put there (at least according to them)). Although, I must say, as I get older, I do tend to appreciate the fact that I'm old enough to remember a more analog upbringing and knowledge of those tools as well.
As far as "AI", had lawyers that used AI cited a non existent case*. Ooops. Australian politician claimed that ChatGPT said that they were guilty of a bribery scandal when he was in fact a whistleblower in the case.** Of course, have the issue of Github (CoPilot)*** and how code was handled there (not all code is under Public Domain (or similar license), have to wonder what is closed source, what is open source and what license the open source is. As much as I like open source, I wouldn't touch GPLv3 for anything that I was writing a finished product for (and since there is typically no citation of what repo and it's license is stated, who knows), but I digress.
And the coup de grace, at least here stateside artwork that, from how I take it as a non lawyer, is even a collaboration between a person (prompt writer) and "AI" isn't much better****. So at best, use it for the "throwaway" type of works. Although, I do think that the prompts themselves can be.
And in all instances, most people are generally lazy and won't do the research to make sure that what they are reading is actually up to snuff and that's the scary part. They just take it and run with it. So I guess in this case, I am that old fart curmudgeon that just doesn't like "progress". Change in of itself isn't good or bad. I just don't see it as a boon that a lot of people think that it is (no, at least not yet...., not worried about skynet).
