Every time I hear someone say AI, I know for sure they have no idea what they're talking about and are about to grift people
That's a great instinct to have in the current landscape, but keep in mind the rise of machine learning is happening. And there are a few really cool and good use-cases for it. So it might be a hindrance to yourself to automatically throw out anything to do with "AI", you might find something cool to use it for.
For instance, as a hobbyist graphic designer, I use a local instance of Stable Diffusion these days instead of Photoshop to make quick photo edits, saving me hours of manually masking out objects and filling in the blanks.
It's ok. 99% of the AI articles are about how AI is going to kill us all with the proof being the movie Terminator.
