  AI is a long way off from becoming Skynet, but it has its own set of risks and pitfalls, and we should stop using it.


The article from Yahoo News discusses the growing trend of using AI for tasks that are considered trivial or unnecessary, highlighting the potential waste of resources and the misdirection of AI's capabilities. It points out that while AI has the potential to revolutionize fields like healthcare, climate modeling, and complex problem-solving, it is often being utilized for mundane tasks such as generating simple text or creating basic images. The piece critiques the hype around AI, suggesting that the focus on these "stupid" applications might be driven by a desire to showcase AI's capabilities rather than addressing real-world problems. It also raises concerns about the environmental impact of running AI models for such trivial uses, given their high energy consumption. The article calls for a more thoughtful application of AI technology, urging developers and companies to prioritize impactful uses over flashy, but less meaningful, demonstrations of AI's potential.
