There are better cryptocurrency options to Bitcoin now, including stabletokens that are specifically designed for this purpose. Hopefully they go to one of those instead.

Long ago, I used to work for a small business that did most of its sales through eBay using PayPal. They were the single biggest impediment to our business, yoinking money away at the slightest excuse. It seemed like they just lived to screw us over.

It's not the difference you think it is. Lots of people who use AI art generators don't call themselves artists either. I certainly don't, because I don't care whether I'm called an artist. I just want the art.

I think you may be generalizing a stereotype.

You are mistaking a specific kind of AI for all AI. That's like saying a tulip isn't a flower because you believe flowers are roses.

Jarvis is a fictional example of a kind of AI known as Artificial General Intelligence, or AGI.

Technology that allows us to do something we could not do before - such as create nuclear explosions, or propel metal slugs at extreme velocities, or design new viruses - unquestionably offer a benefit and don't require discipline to integrate into our lives in a balanced manner?

The people who commission artists have no interest in being an artist; they simply want the product. Are people who commission artists also "slowly committing suicide?"

The term "AI" was established in 1956 at the Dartmouth workshop and covers a very broad range of topics in computer science. It definitely encompasses large language models.

Okay, make it sound worse and even more unprofitable.

Making their AI models cheaper to run (such as by requiring less electricity) is one step along that path to profitability.
