That some people find “text box that spits out a broken version of what they want and then you yell at it until it’s sufficing” more convenient than using existing tools says a lot more about existing tools than about the text box.
E.g. programming has long been extremely overwrought and complex for no reason other than enterprise wankery and gatekeeping, see the various frameworks from Big Tech.
The same companies now rent you expensive tools that “make programming easy”, while their overly complex frameworks and environments are free of course.
Instead of fixing the problem we’re now having two problems.
(The same is true in other industries.)

Wow, just listening to Luxon waffle on about how all the problems his gov't is facing about a failing economy were caused by the past Gov't. He throws huge shade at Clöe Swarbrick and her financial chops, implying his party is far better, and claiming the Greens would hugely increase debt and taxes... None of the fricking jounos there have had the nous to call him on that - this dickhead Gov't has increased our national debt, not reduced it in the slightest..

This isn’t trivial stuff. Google has ~15 billion queries a day.
Let’s say 50% of those contain an “AI” summary.
Of these 50%—lets be generous again—10% contain grave factual errors and made-up stuff.
And then let’s be extremely generous and say 1% of queries ask for something like medical advice.
15,000,000,000 x 0.5 x 0.1 x 0.01 x 365 =2,737,500,000
That’s ~2.7 billion wrong, dangerous, misleading, maybe deadly “AI” summaries per year.

Fear of flying therapy is about reframing the flight experience;
if my mind’s eye squints,
I can almost interpret my sweating palms and pounding heartbeat as a kind of buzz.
But this requires repeated, strenuous effort,
and the result is a mental exhaustion that makes the worst-case scenario appealing:
succumbing to my fears and never flying again.
I imagine this as analogous to what many Americans, aerophobic or not, are feeling.
It’s simply easier…

“In the town of Seldovia, on Kachemak Bay, a 15-foot minke whale was beached on the rocks at low tide, believed to be an incidence of poisoning by an algal bloom that could have killed it in just 20 minutes.
The selfless work from the locals allowed that 20 minutes to become 6 hours, when the tide’s eventual arrival allowed the whale to right itself.”
