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 love chatgpt, and am dumbfounded at all the AI hate on lemmy. I use it for work. It’s not perfect, but helps immensely with snippets of code, as well as learning STEM concepts. Sometimes I’ve already written some code that I remember vaguely, but it was a long time ago and I need to do it again. The time it would take to either go find my old code, or just research it completely again, is WAY longer than just asking chatgpt. It’s extremely helpful, and definitely faster for what I’d already have to do.
I guess it depends on what you use it for ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
I hope it continues to improve. I hope we get full open source. If I could “teach” it to do certain tasks someday, that would be friggin awesome.
