deadymouseHow serious will the problems be in the future if people rely too much on AI or can't work and live without them at all?
Depends on who controls the AI. If you are running it locally.

Then it doesn’t matter.
That solves maybe a single problem associated with AI. Energy and water use is still massive, nobody’s job prospects are improved in any way, the brain drain still happens, and creativity still goes to die in a corner.
TheOrcWhoWritesI have since learned a few skills from probing AI. One of them is python and I use it today. They aren’t all downsides.
What water use does your phone have? Because an Orange PI has none. You can run it off a $5 solar panel and thus the energy problem is not there.
Stop conflating society destroying Capitalism with community built and maintained software. They may have functional similarities but the negative properties of Oracle Databases are orders of magnitude worse and different than FSF supported Databases such as PostgreSQL.
