For generative AI.... Yeah. I see no appeal. I do see an appeal for it as a chatbox if you're careful to not think it's real and shit.
I also see the appeal of it as a way to get really really really obscure pieces of knowledge that you cannot find with a simple google search. (I was damn stoned on a subreddit a while back for even mentioning I tried to get help from an AI. Which pisses me off, I'm not God, I can't find everything.)
Smart people do too tbh
