What has generative Ai acttculy solved?

Imagine sitting in a coffee shop, and someone asks, ‘What has generative AI actually solved?’ That’s the question buzzing around. Honestly, it’s hard to find many wins, despite all the hype. According to /u/Appropriate_Win9885 on Reddit, all generative AI seems to do is spread propaganda easier, make access to clean water even more complicated because of massive data needs, and steal artwork from countless artists. What’s more, it’s demotivated many creators, including myself, because AI-generated art often looks ugly or sanitized. Yet, people still say it’s ‘the future,’ even with these clear downsides. So, what’s the real progress here? The answer, based on the Reddit thread, is — there really isn’t much. Instead of solutions, it’s mostly created new problems. And get this — according to the same post, the biggest impact so far isn’t positive at all. That shift might seem small now, but it’s exactly the kind of sign that could shape the next phase of AI development.
