Is anyone else depressed because of AI?

I was completely out of my depressed slump up until AI started going off the rails again and getting major developments and being shilled everywhere. It's just disturbing and will lead to the extinction of the human race, IMO. Ironically, that's made me much more depressed than I ever was.

I have no valid argument against artificial intelligence existing in certain contexts, but humanity's reaction to it has been incredibly disheartening to me to say the least.

Artificial intelligence is already being used to animate images of the dead in courtrooms. In what world does anyone, let alone a judge, take this seriously? If it was a man dressed as the deceased reading from a script would the judge have accepted it being shown in court, or would it have been dismissed as a blatant attempt at emotional manipulation?

I could go on about this for ages, but this particular example peeves me off to an unreasonable degree.

Already permanently depressed, so it doesn't matter. But it's annoying at work. People send screenshots of their "clever" question and AI's response. As if they did something special. I don't really care. In other words what I'm saying is: supposedly smart college-educated experienced people are acting like idiots with it and totally missing the point of what it's for.

This was just the beginning. I think the very worst is yet to come. Microsoft has already announced their second biggest layoff in history. So imagine when all the companies start announcing their biggest layoffs ever. The unemployment will be catastrophic.

I can't believe AI was some sci-fi concept to me just a few years ago. These days I see it everywhere I look. The ads I see on TV are AI generated half the time. Most of the shit I see on social media is AI generated too. It does everything I could ever do faster and for cheap. It doesn't need to eat or sleep. I wonder if the way I'm feeling is the same way a horse felt when people started driving cars instead of horses lol.

I use my hobbies for myself and to vent, I'm not concerned about a machine outpacing me as I don't see myself in a direct competition with it.
