I use GenAI for text translation, text 2 voice and voice 2 text, there it is extremely useful. For coding I often have the feeling it is useless, but also sometimes it is useful, like most tools...

What are you doing at your job that ai can't help with at all to consider is completely use less?

That could even be argued (with an honest interlocutor, which you clearly are not)

The usefulness of your comment, on the other hand, is beyond any discussion.

"Anyone who disagrees with me is dishonest" is some kindergarten level logic.

    > It's not useless but it's not good for humanity as a whole.

    Ridiculous statement. Is Google also not good for humanity as a whole? Is Internet not good for humanity as a whole? Wikipedia?

      Chlorofluorocarbons, microplastics, UX dark patterns, mass surveillance, planned obsolescence, fossil fuels, TikTok, ultra-processed food, antibiotic overuse in livestock, nuclear weapons.

      It's a defensible claim I think. Things that people want are not always good for humanity as a whole, therefore things can be useful and also not good for humanity as a whole.
