@Onj I don't think this is a bad/unpopular opinion at all. Old stuff may be better for older people, and though I do a bit of hobby AIML coding myself, I am having so much fun with recreating old games I played on DOS Pcs in 1984. I haven't shared them because I'm not even sure anyone would care, but for me, they provide so much good entertainment. When i played the ones I now recreated to have audio cues for me, I was dependent on sighted assistance, not that it was a problem, because I had a younger sister that loved playing the games as much as myself...but the feeling of being able to do stuff independently, stuff I would have had to ask help for when I was younger, leads to so much happiness, if happiness is even the right word. Satisfaction, more likely. Yes there are people that do bad things with AI, but every tool can be used positively or negatively. But then computer programming in itself, even before AI could be used positively or negatively. If memory serves right, then the first computer virus was created in 1981. Again, Computer program, tool...Tool can be used beneficially or harmfully. AI is a tool, just like everything else, even electricity is a tool that can do both good bad.
