Is AI going to kill Hifi?

Early Computers were not immediately accessible by Billions of Individuals expressing curiosity and each 3 x sessions of expressing curiosity to see very inaccurate information is equivalent to a 1 Mile Car Journey in a Mid Sized CC Engine Vehicle.

I don't know the comparison, but curiosity users of AI at present can be generating the equivalent of a 1 Billion Mile Journey per week, or 2600 Journeys to the Moon weekly.

Totally Ludicrous and Totally Unnecessary

Accessing it should come with the deterrent being a cost that is the Largest Stealth Tax ever levied.

If it means we’re gonna be burning more coal then I am all for it.  If it means we’re going to destroy wilderness to build more of these data centers that basically means clearcutting lots of Forest then I am all for it. If it means we can be lazier when we have questions that otherwise they’re more difficult to get good answers for then I am all for it.

If it means I enjoy speaking to a chat bot more than my wife I am all for it and I’m not even married.

I use AI as another tool in my work as a software architect for things I’m trying to learn about or understand.  It usually gives me a good place to start.

I'm an architect too, and agree on its use in what you cite. But also still do coding projects in environments I'm well familiar with (for personal and work), and A.I. is still simply awful there, for my needs. I don't care about generated code outlines, snippets, templates, and fillers; that's no meaningful savings, and I like to do it myself anyways as I progressively "feel" out a design from top to bottom. Anything I've let A.I. generate is just a blind spot until parsed - no net time savings. On bigger, more complex asks the wiring quality is typically poor, and does NOT converge to correctness upon further iterations - which is the hallmark of bad coding. 

If there's a silver lining to A.I., it's that it can expose how low-value most developers actually are. The problem is that it's not much if any better (yet), and executives are assigning a LOT of value to it.

Thanks, HAL.....
An object lesson of misplaced trust, repeated in the Alien series with Mother, Ash, and all the other AI that have been directed to use the humans as needed...
I've mentioned elsewhere about 'Colossus: The Forbin Project' film (1970) where the US and Russian AI's team up and point our ICBM's at us as well as everyone else....as well as the Russian version does.

Does have a certain charm....since we as a species can't get our act together to save ourselves and the planet we're thrashing, a new POV from something that feels no hunger, pain, need of sleep.....

fElon Musk not long ago mentioned a super 'puter project he had in mind....

...named Colossus.....

Reality imitating Art is kinda disturbing, y'all....

Me?  Paranoid?  Nahhh....

We haven't failed to not screw things up yet.....😏🤨
