I've been in IT since 2007 I've been with computers since 1994 with a second hand MS DOS.

AI is 100 very good for scientists and people in the medical industry (I don't know why, but I know they've all told me it's good for them). Outside of the above.. Everything else about AI is pointless.. It's just googling things slightly faster than I can google things.

I mainly use it for comparing products, and finding tools/products that fit my needs (sustainability/longevity/value/complexity/learning curve/beginner friendliness). I find it to be really time saving for this particulqr purpose. Customer service agents should be forgotten by history ASAP. EDIT: customer service AI agents, is what I meant

Prepare to get downvoted and get critical comments. People really hate llms here. It’s just as annoying as the people on the flipside.
