    You do you, buddy. You sound like you have a lot of frustration in your life, and AI is the easiest target. I spoke out against your punching bag, and now I’ve drawn your ire, which comes with complimentary insults. Cool beans.

    There’s a reason why people “rely” on AI. It’s truly insightful, with a shocking aptitude for inference. I, myself, have used it to pick a color, but not because “I didn’t know what color I like” but because I know that there are considerations to choosing a color for psychological and practical reasons, and while I don’t know all those reasons, nor want to expend my time learning them (and being unsure if I learned them all) I can instead allow AI to utilize it’s omniscience to make those considerations.

    So, for example, when I asked it what colors to use for my basement, and provided a picture of the existing color scheme, it was able to find something that looked like it belonged perfectly, while also taking into account that the basement has a low ceiling, so I want to incorporate vertical stripes to make the space seem larger than it actually is. That’s not something I would have naturally thought of, so that’s useful and appreciated. It doesn’t atrophy my brain to acknowledge the insight afforded by an encyclopedic mind is beneficial to my selection, and I spent far less time than I would have in hunting down articles about the best way to choose colors for cramped sub-surface locations.

    AI isn’t going anywhere, sorry, person-who-thinks-I’m-an-insufferable-cunt, so you might as well benefit from it rather than being the crying toddler having a meltdown in the food court of a mall because he’s upset the radio overplays a song that he doesn’t like.

    Turn your frown upside down. You can do it! I believe in you!
