    Not sure why you were downvoted, when what you said is true.
    Many small businesses ride the razor’s edge in finances, and if AI can help even just a little, I see nothing wrong with it.

    Edit after a few days:
    All these downvotes, yet no discussion. Nothing to back up the reasons.
    Is it really as simple as, “wahhh, AI bad, me no like comment”?

    Listen, do I like that AI data centers are chewing up resources left and right, and is sucking in everything anyone has ever done online in past 30 years since the Internet went public?
    No, of course not.
    Large companies need to put some serious brakes on expansion, and should scale back what is already in place.

    But do I also see some good that AI can deliver? Yes I can.

    If some medical company comes out tomorrow with a novel new drug that could safely eliminate the autoimmune disease that I, and thousands of others, suffer with, and they said, “This new drug was created and successfully tested by AI, and has been 100% peer approved.”, am I going to turn it down solely because AI was involved?
    Not a chance.

    This is directed to everyone who has posted in this thread who mentioned they have their phone in or nearby while they shower for music, audio books, etc.

    Why?

    How long are you showering that you need some content to fill the time?
    It honestly concerns me that some people can’t go five to ten minutes, alone with their own thoughts.

    Someone here mentioned meditation, and that is how I shower. A quick, five minute chance to disconnect from the noise of the world.




  • I have the same opinion.
    I think that as a society, we have become far too dependent on having something playing in our ears at all times, almost as if we’re afraid of being with our own thoughts.

    When I am out walking, it’s just me and the sounds of whatever is happening around me. Don’t just hear, but listen to the birds, distant vehicles, a dog barking, wind in the trees, and in this case, a rattlesnake looking for something to nibble on.
