We retreat into an age of darkness, clutching our crystals and consulting our horoscopes because everything has been made equally untrue with the Greatest Invention Man Ever Made. We should be so proud of ourselves.
Those who trust this tripe deserve the consequences they invite on themselves.
At the same time, the inventiveness of AI sometimes gives quite a few fruitful ideas for a solution. Yes, formally this can be classified as AI hallucinations, but sometimes they are so bright and well-aimed that I get goosebumps.
My favorite one is phind.com - it gave me so many slightly hallucinating but nevertheless useful advices. And I was able to incorporate most of them into my professional work.
The whole situation reminds me of a good friend of mine - he's super talented at inventing things and brainstorming, but he can often be caught misrepresenting the facts, and sometimes outright lying. However, the pros easily outweigh the cons if you know who you're working with.
dark times are ahead.
