Let's please try to be more specific
"AI" in general is just overpowered statistics, which can be used in many very useful ways, including saving life and reducing the work needed to fulfill the needs of a population. AI can help plan maintenance to infrastructure, saving resources.
The issue is the use of Generative AI that does no good public deeds, that is just a waste of resources, trained without consent on the data, to make investors happy.
Which is more complex than just saying "AI", the same way "Monopolistic social networks that exploit their user's data for toxic advertisement" is more complex than just saying "computers" or "the internet"
Please try to make it past the first paragraph of what's linked next time
I'm sorry if it sounded OT, the title triggered my comment, and I think my point stands on that. With all respect to the contents of the article.
