The thing is: “AI” can be a useful tool in the hands of an competent programmer, media creator and so forth… BUT it is literally the dark side of the force. Just to bring in the Yoda quote:
Luke: … Is the dark side stronger?
Yoda: No, no, no. Quicker, easier, more seductive.
The problem it allows a horde of fools to create software that is - at best - dysfunctional and at worst really dangerous. While, yes, it always was possible to fake photographs and create false video evidence of events it either required to have money, knowledge or both. Now any person can - with nearly no training - create realistic looking pictures and videos leading to god knows what.
And don’t let me get into the environmental aspects of this technology…
Perhaps, some day in the future when the hype is gone (and hopefully most of the shitty people pushing it) it might be possible to use this technology in the right way… but this hype and push for the usage of that technology will not go away until we push at least as hard against it as the proponents push towards it.
Well, as an addition to all the calls for switching to Linux:
Its completely doable to install Windows 11 on unsupported Hardware, using an official ISO from Microsoft and letting the Rufus imager apply a few changes and Win 11 should run on hardware that is about 10 years old or a bit older (i think i have heard Microsoft has removed support for the Core2 generation of CPUs). If you want to get a really clean install the best tool is - i think - tiny11builder which cleans up an official ISO and makes the whole experience of running this OS on older hardware way more pleasant.
Currently i have a test system (a laptop) with an Celeron N3010 and 4 GB RAM on my desk at work running Windows 11 modified by tiny11builder and it is - while not exactly fast - absolutely useable for classical office tasks.
