A screenshot post argues that after nearly five years of people claiming AI would solve everyday problems, no everyday problem has been solved.
The author says the result has been job losses, environmental costs, theft of thought, increased surveillance, and richer billionaires, while ordinary users see little practical benefit. The post is essentially a sharp anti-AI take packaged as a social screenshot.
