It's a tool; it can be used well by skilled people to create a good output

Of course that's true for things like programming if used only as a chat-based responsive rubber duck to help debug or investigate potential architecture. People using it to spit out entire projects is terrible though and it's destroying the open source ecosystem by making it difficult to find projects that aren't jank and likely to be immediately abandoned

But in regards to generating any sort of art media, there is no good output or skilled creators because there's no skill or effort put into it. You're not skilled because you put a prompt into a chat bot in the same way you're not a skilled chef for putting in an order at McDonalds.

Trump? Maybe it doesn't seem as fucked up when he's not constantly threatening to annex you and when you have an ocean in between you and Americans

For example: taking advantage of government subsidised secondary education to reach a higher income without loads of debt and then voting to get rid of the subsidies so you can pay slightly less in taxes because "you don't want to pay for someone else's schooling"

Huh you'd need a lot of it though, right? I guess I stopped smoking around legalisation in Canada so I only know what I had available but the hash was always pretty dense. We'd break it up and mix it into ground up bud or tobacco for our joints but can you actually do just pure hash?

I kind of get it since they need funding to escape Google's boot and AI is a money printing machine at the moment but it all seems shortsighted and poorly done. If they added AI features slowly and with caution I'd be happier but they're buying into the "GAMBLE IT ALL ON POORLY CONCEIVED AI FEATURES NOBODY ASKED FOR" hype train which is just going to be a disaster

I've been pretty happy with the Zen Browser fork of Firefox (minus the fact that the lead dev seems to be a bit of an opinionated dick but it works well anyway)
