I've yet to find a tool/use case for genAI that actually helps--lots of the "oh it finds cancer!" use cases are just rife with errors and also degrade the human experts by making them doubt their work.

"in some cases it's good!" is increasingly just false.

My stance (well said by Moser): https://anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/haterdom/2025/08/26/i-am-an-ai-hater.html

I Am An AI Hater

I am an AI hater. This is considered rude, but I do not care, because I am a hater.

1. Another slowish day at work. It's nice to not be in panic mode all the time.

2. Saw two fighter jets (F-15s, I think) over the airport on my way home. They are so impressive when seen in the air, always makes my day.

3. Crock Pot pulled pork sandwiches for supper. So tasty, and the kitchen smells great.

No, Artificial Intelligence Is Not Conscious

Taken to its logical conclusion, this line of thinking is absurd—and damning.
