The former is the problem that is causing environmental issues, and is generally useless. I would like to see Generative AI shut down, or, at the very least, its usage severely restricted.

The latter, however, is quite useful. It could help us achieve major breakthroughs in science, mathematics, etc. Obviously, we should not let it replace us, but, in moderation, I feel like AI could bring about excellent results as it would use several different approaches to further advance research.
Edit: I would also like to add that AI is great for general programming blueprints. I have a friend which owns a website, and they tend to use AI to program. Obviously, they check the code, fix issues themselves, and build upon it, but, I would say it saves time, and, if used properly, you can achieve pretty good results.

you still lost? /j
