AI is the evolution of tools. Like any other modern tool, either learn it and use it or be left behind.

And a great many tools have a brief period of excitement before people realize they aren't actually all that useful. ("The Segway will change the way everyone travels!") There are aspects of limited AI that are quite useful. There are other aspects that are counter-productive at the current level of capability. Marketing hype is pushing anything with AI in the name, but it will all settle out eventually. When it does, a lot of people will have wasted a lot of time, and caused some real damage, by relying on the parts that are not yet practical.

Absolutely agreed all around.

For me, in my job, AI has been a fantastic tool. It feels like I was using a plain screw driver and now I have a cordless, light power drill. It really is doing “grunt” work for me so I can focus on the more complex tasks.

Is Instagram a modern tool too? Just - felt segregated due to not using it and such shit in my teens, and now it's apparently something from the past, and I still haven't used it.

What a brave, original thought. Did an AI write this for you?
