Totally agree with you! I'm in a different field but I see it in the same light. Let it get you to 80-90% of whatever that task is and then refine from there. It saves you time to add on all the extra cool shit that that 90% of time would've taken into. So many people assume you have to use at 100% face value. Just take what it gives you as a jumping off point.

I think specifically Lemmy and just the in general anti corpo mistrust drives the majority of the negativity towards AI. Everyone is cash/land grabbing towards anything that sticks. Trying to shove their product down everyone's throat.

People don't like that behavior and thus shun it. Understandable. However don't let that guide your entire logical thinking as a whole, it seems to cloud most people entirely to the point they can't fathom an alternative perspective.

I think the vast majority of tools/software originate from a source of good but then get transformed into bad actors because of monetization. Eventually though and trends over time prove this, things become open source or free and the real good period arrives after the refinement and profit period...

It's very parasitic even, to some degree.
There is so much misinformation about emerging technologies because info travels so fast unchecked that there becomes tons of bullshit to sift through. I think smart contracts (removing multi party input) and business anti trust can be alleviated in the future but it will require correct implementation and understanding from both consumers and producers which we are far from as of now. Topic for another time though.
