Very true. I'm pro-AI in the sense that I see a lot of amazing ways it can improve life. However, I hate how so many people jumped in headlong, with no concern for safety, caution or restraint. I only started using GenAI last year because I needed to learn about it before I would even consider using it.
Even now, I exclusively use it to save time on menial things (low-level research, for example) or to augment where I have weaknesses. A good example of the latter is how I use it as I'm learning Python. Instead of spending hours looking for an obscure way of debugging or coding a specific feature, I ask AI to help me through the process when I've exhausted normal troubleshooting but I specifically make sure it doesn't give me the code outright. This means I still have to think and learn but it saves me from getting frustrated and wasting time looking for obscure solutions.
The TL;DR is that AI can be a fantastic tool but we should exercise caution and restraint with it.
Sadly, most don't and that is why "AI designed to take over" exists in the first place; for where humans see a way to stoke their laziness, they will jump in with no second thought. Malicious actors will exploit that for their own gain.
