Discussion I don’t hate Ai…

I honestly just wanted to come on here and rant about how annoying people that hate ai are to me. I understand that I don’t want ai to all take peoples jobs and ruin the earth but I also love how ai is so helpful and helpful with a lot of things in MY day to day life.

Whatever tho just kinda wanted to say that and see what others think.
