I don't know whether you have ever felt that somewhat despairing sense of the weariness of mortal Men, when engaged with simulated-human/ pseudo-intelligent "AI" programming - mechanisms that, very much like demons, do not fatigue, and always comes back-at-you -- again and again, with no end point...
This is what chess Grandmasters reported feeling, when they first engaged with powerful chess computers - a "Terminator"-like relentlessness; needing neither rest nor sleep.
We humans use-up attention, energy, motivation on these interactions - but AI does not.
We cannot go on-and-on; but AI can and does.
If we persist in engaging with AI; we shall sooner or later be worn-down and yield to it...
Perhaps inwardly acknowledging its "superiority", or (whether consciously or unconsciously) conforming to its mode of operating, its materialist and mechanical cognition.
This is Of Course one of the primary reasons why we have had AI gratuitously inflicted upon us by the demon-affiliated Global Establishment, why AI is made to be addictive...
And why the spiritual-corruption of those human beings who gratuitously engage-with and write-about AI approvingly, is so very obvious and frighteningly rapid.

Note: On the other hand...
Every single time we discern this demonic reality of AI, when we recognize the evil temptation, and inwardly reject it - we have learned a spiritual lesson; and we have made spiritual progress.
So our current situation is not All bad!
Not if we take the opportunity to discern, and repent when needed, and learn-from experience.
(Such is the nature of this mortal life... Unlike The Borg, our resistance to evil is not futile, because resistance is part of the point of this phase of existence.)

The thing that gets me about the AI hype is that, it's either still 1995 so why not try out this new digital technology, or it's 2025 and all the hopes for the Internet did work out, so of course this one will as well.
The fact that the Internet hype has failed so completely makes the AI hype totally implausible. The problems associated with that failure are still with us and getting worse and there's no reason to think so-called AI is going to solve them. For example, the Internet was supposed to make everyone more knowledgeable and more adept at reasoning. Well, we haven't even conserved the level of knowledge and reasoning from 25 years ago.
But at least the early Internet actually did what it was supposed to do. Now, it doesn't even perform its main selling point, finding useful information.
There are claims that AI will help with the so called competency crisis or will help people find information online. There is something called a refund scam, which targets people who have already been scammed and tries to get money by claiming to get the money back. That's what these promises sound like: a refund scam.
More generally, the fact that the Internet hype could be so wrong and that people could make important life and financial decisions based on the hype, shows that by and large people just don't know what the future will hold. There can be honest and competent people who might have some insight, though even they can be wrong. But making decisions about the future based on people with an inhuman ideology, who don't care about you, who are trying to sell you something, there's just no reason to do that.
@NLR - All good stuff.
I got the following fascinating link and (edited) commentary in a personal communication from a tech insider:

[re a link from the above] This is a good illustration of 'Terminator-like relentlessness'. The chess robots produced viable moves. In this case... a human being gets tired repeatedly making nonsensical arguments, but a machine does not.
...there is of course a mandatory goal... that everyone in the company Do Something involved with AI -- resolved by everyone pretending to do something, probably a training. (Above all, one must assume good intent and refrain from exuding dismissal and stop energy.)
This is indeed driven from very high up... and we are told that executives are routinely asked (ostensibly by major customers) about how the company uses AI, and not having an answer is Very Bad.
It's easy to infer that customers (other large companies) are asking how we use AI because they in turn have their own top-down imperatives to Do Something with AI, but no idea what to do.
An AI gabbler imitating [and author] put me distantly in mind of Charles Williams' "Descent into Hell" where the unfortunate protagonist retires to his home and manifests a succubus from his mind rather than interact with real people. It seems the technology can, if tuned to a particular person's preferences, produce a sort of narcissistic doppelganger.
This aspect of the technology was obscured by the fact that publically available gabblers were relentlessly tuned to imitate the type of passive-aggressive call-centre bureaucrat no one actually wants to talk to. (The Establishment ideal of how people should communicate!)
