I’ve found that AI has done literally nothing to improve my life in any way and has really just caused endless frustrations. From the enshitification of journalism to ruining pretty much all tech support and customer service, what is the point of this shit?
I work on the Salesforce platform and now I have their dumbass account managers harassing my team to buy into their stupid AI customer service agents. Really, the only AI highlight that I have seen is the guy that made the tool to spam job applications to combat worthless AI job recruiters and HR tools.
I find ChatGPT useful in getting my server to work (since I’m pretty new with Linux)
Other than that, I check in on how local image models are doing around once every couple of months. I would say you can achieve some cool stuff with it, but not really any unusual stuff.
I was really psyched about AI when it first hit my news feed. Now I’m less than impressed. Most generalist AI platforms get things wrong constantly. Having an LLM trained on specific things, like math or science or maybe law, I could see being useful.
We’re at the “AI everything” phase instead of the “AI what makes sense” phase.
It’s really useful for churning out some basic code. For searching the web, it’s providing better results than Google these days.
I hate that it monetized general knowledge that use to be easily searchable then repackaged it as some sort of black box randomizer.
Text generation is Frozen Yogurt now.
Noticeably worse, but you can have so much more.
