If someone has an idea and needs a basic image to represent it, an AI generator helps make that possible. How many ideas go unrealized because the person couldn’t create an image for it? AI generators fill that gap. Why am I brave enough to say this? Because Mastodon (and the wider fediverse) shouldn't have only one dominant opinion on every topic—other opinions need to be present.
One has to go forever: Email, Smart Assistants, or Smart phones—which one are you ditching and why?

A lot of the comments I see about #AI on Mastodon feel semi-hysterical. What are people hoping to achieve with this? 
Feels like one of those issues where folks park their brains and pick a side without thinking critically...

Socrates, the venerable philosopher of ancient Greece, is often celebrated for his wisdom and foundational contributions to Western thought. However, one of his notable stances was his objection to the written word. 
In Plato's dialogues, Socrates expressed deep reservations about the shift from oral tradition to written text, fearing that writing would weaken memory, lead to superficial understanding, and depersonalize communication. 
Fast forward 2,500 years, and a strikingly similar debate unfolds around the advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI). 
Modern critics voice concerns about AI's impact on human skills, comprehension, and personal interaction. By examining these parallels, we can gain insights into the evolving relationship between humanity and technology.

Tech brands like Logitech, Nothing, and Microsoft are adding AI-related features to their gadgets, but are these features truly necessary? The rush to integrate AI raises questions about the actual benefits for users.
As the boundary between human and AI sophistication blurs, meet Figure 01: a humanoid robot powered by OpenAI. Its latest demo is impressive and slightly unnerving. It can chat, understand requests, and even hand over an apple with a casual "uh" in its speech. 
Are we ready for AI robots with this level of sophistication? What are your thoughts on welcoming such futuristic helpers into our lives?
