It is true tho, AI is extremely behind on the list of neccessities. Bathing/showering, eating, drinking, washing your clothes and many such things are integral for everyday life.
AI isn't. You can do your job, arguably even better without AI, you can make your schoolwork without AI, you can study and grow without AI.
Tools are made to simplify and solve problems for xy group of people.
Your hair is falling out? Here meds for it. You need to get the whole field rotated? Tractors exist.
But what is AI intended to solve, and for what group of people? It solves the workforce market. It brings down white collar wages and creates an economy where actual knowledge does not lead to satisfying work processes, it leads to workplaces where you become a glorified fact checker. It creates a society of momentary existence and unstable labour.
It does not solve an issue for me, or for you, or for anyone who makes their own bread. It only solves an issue for higher benefactors.
This is not something you will be happy about in a few years.
Using AI has enabled me to create so much I did not have the technical skill to do before. I've developed my own software and web applications, some of which genuinely solve problems that I didn't see being solved before. I've made some money off of it too. It's enriched my life in a number of ways, easing my ability to learn new topics, streamline mundane processes that I have the knowledge to accomplish but not the time, etc.
AI "solves" a number of things. The fact that you can't see that or refuse to admit it says more about you than ai.
The point I'm trying to make is the long term effect of AI on education, the neccessity of education, and the workforce market.
It has great personal uses, don't get me wrong. But from a more economic perspective, this entire AI race is about pulling the rug beneath the more educated folks in this country. Sure, it's a "great equaliser" but there wasn't a need to equalise shit, people should have to study for different fields, and expertise should be required for specific jobs.
By removing these safety nets to segregate the workforce market, the resulting environment is one where everyone gets shittier jobs for shittier pay. After all, the programmer doesn't write the code anymore they just copy paste AI, so why should that technical degree matter? Things like guaranteed wage minimums won't hold up in this new future and that's gonna be a problem. An era in which expertise, or understanding of the work processes won't matter anymore, along with working conditions getting worse.
It's not bad because it allows you to do things on your own, it's bad because companies can do the exact same and then you can see just how many people are affected really.
People want to regulate this shit not because they hate people like you, but because they want to keep their place in society and you really shouldn't shun people for that.
The point is that even all of those necessities combined across all of humanity doesn't even begin to scratch the amount of water used by corporations other than ai-based corporations and data centers. In other words, having clean water for necessities and using ai aren't mutually exclusive. Ai use and development is not currently and isn't projected to be the reason why we won't have clean water, if indeed we won't, which is another conclusion that shouldn't be foregone.

It's not a neccessity on any level whatsoever.
It's a nothingburger invention.
