It is amazing how many people I see claiming that AI has one good use. No one seems to agree on what that one good use is, and there's always a hell of a lot of goalpost shifting and special pleading involved.

For some reason a lot of folks quite reasonably follow the arguments against AI, but then partition off the one thing as immune or exempt from having to worry about any of the ethical and practical problems.
