I'm surprised by the use of Ai by anyone "in the know". I place that term in quotations because I'm not sure they "know".

Either they don't really know or they choose to use the tool despite or use as a result of some unseen and unrealized grasp that tool has on them. A hold predating even the invention of that tool.

I'm not knocking the OP in any way. Just trying to bring to light that possibility.

Isn't it enough that we know that a tool like that does not, at the moment, have any benefit to the user? Knowing that, shouldn't we simply suppress the temptation? Isn't that, in itself, part of the struggle between attempting to live a sinless life and that of sin? Are we not identifying that action similar to that of the temptation of any other sin we are faced with in our lives?

Not trying to be a boomer or a downer but isn't it time we consider AI, in it's current form, as sin?

And if not yet convinced, shouldn't the mere possibility be enough to play it safe?

I'm baffled by friends that, on the one hand, speak of their belief that the tool is "bad" and on the other turn and speak of their adventures ("good" and bad) while using it.

Are we not going to even question the attraction that has some seemingly entranced despite the repelling force attempting to pull against?

And why aren't we recognizing that repelling force as a Calling to come Home?

OP. The dinner bell is ringing and street lights have long since lit your path.

It's time you go Home.
