I was initially gen AI agnostic, before I read up on how it works, how it's been developed, and the ideologies that underpin it. In my view, its costs massively outweight its benefits and if you can avoid using it, you should.
Thanks to an absolute blitzkrieg of marketing and the investment of tens of billions of dollars, the "AI" business has unconditionally captured the allegiance of almost everyone who doesn't know what it really is.
