AI : artificial intelligence, or amoral idiocy?

What are your thoughts on AI -- or experiences with it?
As a teacher, I am mostly worried about how very easy it makes it for students to cheat. I am also aggravated by how it is being pushed at us from all sides by moneygrubbing tech mongers. And I have other concerns and complaints.
But of course there are different sides to everything. For example, two smart young people have recently told me that they use AI chat programs as therapists, with excellent results. A good friend in a sexless marriage finds that her AI boyfriend makes her life much happier.
Where are you at with AI? Do you cheat on assignments with it? Do you cheat on your spouse with it? Will you cheat death with it?
I am going to sleep and look forward to reading your answers in the morning. I will not have an AI program summarize them, promise.

I think it’s just bad in general

It’s going to make people dumber and less capable because they don’t understand how it works

The energy use is catastrophic

It’s going to be misapplied, especially in the medical field and people are going to die

I really really don’t like it

@PalteseMalconFunch I can definitely see it making people less creative. I had it write a couple songs and they were insanely good.

I had it doing all kinds of creative stuff and it is really good at making up stories and game descriptions.
It writes Python code and Lua that I know of probably even more than that.
Yeah, people are going to give up thinking very soon I think.
@PalteseMalconFunch The part about not understanding how it works seems crucial to me. There is a lot of deliberate mystification about this going on, I think.
