AI Tire Kicking

[btq96r]

Would love to hear what everyone is seeing, and more importantly doing with AI in their personal and professional lives.  I got to see a few of the apps my company had plugged into radiology systems for the docs doing the reads, and some are pretty useful.  The technology is growing for sure.  

I  have a ChatGPT plus subscription, and I was really using it to do a lot of advanced Excel formulas and research before I left my job.   Now I'm using it for job searching, and to tweak my resume/cover letter with each application.  I'd love to see what it can do with large data sets someday, and am interested in how it can be used as plug-ins with things I don't have a lot of familiarity with.  I'm also trying things here and there with Google's Gemini, and X's Grok.  I'm pretty impressed with the recent upgrades to Grok.  Haven't tried Anthropic's offering yet.

So, who on here is using any AI tools?

I avoid it at all costs. I turn it off whenever possible when it’s added to an app that I use. Have deleted a few altogether for doing so. It’s proliferation pushed me closer everyday to getting rid of my smartphone altogether.

I will go far as to say #### AI.  We have thousands of years of knowledge available to a global populace that is increasing becoming dumber.  How is embracing what is basically Skynet going to improve the human condition?

When people don’t have to think or work anymore who’s going to pay the bills?  Who is going to ensure quality, and most importantly, accurate service?

I could go on quite a bit, but “consumer grade” AI is crap.  When I search Google for something like I do every single day for work, I want accurate results.  I don’t get that and just skip past it to do proper research like intelligent people do.

I can't recall what pops up when using search at work, but I have found it semi useful. It is often short on details at this point but to be fair the data I search for is scattered and scarce. So far this week I have found out more about the history of Freightliner Trucks than I wanted to know but still short of exact details on the model I was searching.
