Comment on AI doomers: What uses of generative AI are you actually excited about? in ~tech

I think there's a lot to be gained in the medical fields with pattern recognition, early detection, and other general improvements to making accurate diagnoses (when used right of course, not relied on solely as a crutch without oversight). Anything that by and large can improve society by being a proper assisting tool would get me excited, when applied thoughtfully.
Unfortunately I feel like the most publicized use cases are what makes me the most angry and push me more into the anti-AI camp. Boring generated videos/art that have no soul behind them (with ethically questionable copyright issues), increasingly annoying and useless customer chat bots, and every other product you can imagine forcing "AI" branding into their product for no apparent reason.

Do plan on trying to hop on a bit more but so far it's seeming like I won't be able to be as active as I was last season. Will still get on when I can. Last I was on I started to explore some of the things y'all have been creating and it's looking great so far!

The combat felt refreshing, the world building and story were fantastic, I felt completely immersed. I was going to do some of the optional side content as well now (the DLC and explore some areas I missed on the main play through), considering going through NG+ to try out different builds.

Meanwhile I'm just here playing with my virtual Legos building a small tree town).
On that note, I have vague, loose plans for the tree town. Right now just working on expanding it out and making various levels, will add more houses and other stuff later to give it a better aesthetic. If anyone has interest in adding to it, please by all means feel free, I love seeing everyone's creativity with these things.

I'm definitely planning to keep most of it up in the trees so if you have paths planned in the underbrush, feel free to complete that as you'd like, I'll try to keep out of the way :)

When I first joined I made a small little house floating over the main large crater, if it's in the way or an eyesore please feel free to remove, I'm not really planning to use it anymore and it was mostly just a Day 1 temporary location near the starting point.

They are just miles ahead of the competition and it isn't even close.
Otherwise probably a Surface device might be the next best thing if OP is adamant about not iPad.

It was the wild west of funny, random, or interesting content, uploaded by people of the world because they wanted to share with the world. I participated in this myself, uploading videos not because I wanted to get famous or make money, but because I truly had a passion for it and wanted to share. YouTube still has people uploading things like this, but it has completely morphed into an entirely different beast of a platform overall.
Do the creators deserve to be paid? Maybe? Are we obligated to pay them? I feel like no, because YouTube changed the terms of the contract unilaterally. Ads are an invasive blight on modern society and I feel zero shame in blocking them. Yes Google has hosting costs and I realize that's going to need to be paid back in some form, but so long as the advertising continues to be hostile to consumers, I have zero shame in blocking them.
I do subscribe to Nebula because there's enough creators there that I feel are worth the subscription fee and it helps them. But going into Nebula I knew it was subscription based from the start. There wasn't a bait and switch.
You're doing yourself a disservice not having watched Andor. It's seriously a masterpiece. First season may start out a little slow but it does a great job building up to an amazing story. You don't even need background Star Wars knowledge to enjoy it. Highly recommend.
