[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not convinced but so far I’ve only used AI to revise a PowerPoint and to find information on the internet. When I call an 800 number I need to speak to someone and get frustrated with the AI bot.

In just the last 5 min I have found 2 A.I. posts on this site. (Not yours, saying other user's posts, but it's being used a lot.)[/quote]

Did you pay for them? No.  Were they better quality than a real person would have written? TBD.  The real person who posted them saved their time by using AI.  That makes them more productive at doing something uncompensated.  Plus the AI that was used cost money to produce those free responses.

I think AI will be a tool like the Internet.  Some jobs could go away but AI is more of a tool than a job replacer.[/quote]

So you are the frequent copy and paste AI poster eh?

AI will be paired with robots (already is in some cases) to do more jobs than you can obviously imagine. [/quote]

I occasionally do post AI and note it as such.  I posted an AI summary of the book Moral Mazes in the Jobs and Careers section.    I liked the book a lot but it's quite scholarly and I find that people rarely read books I recommend.  So I wanted the OP to understand what the book author's main points were.  The free AI summary cost some real resources somewhere but the OP and I were entertained for free.  In this case, AI was superior because it's been a decade since I read the book.  But this is not worth my paying for.

I also used AI in a college forum thread where someone asked what the Top 10 colleges talked about on the site were.  This would be a laborious, time intensive task to do for real.  Even with just a sample of posts.   I quite clearly posted an AI summary based on a Google prompt.  People didn't agree with the results.  They were plausible results but unverifiable.  That is also typical of a lot of AI.  It has "surface validity".  But can be badly wrong.  And again, I wouldn't pay for AI to do this for me.

I am not a frequent copy paster.  At home, I just have Google.  At work, I have access to institutional CoPilot and internally-developed corporate AI.  At times these tools just can't do the job.

I'm also aware of a bunch of processes that people would like AI to handle but AI can't.  It so obviously can't that it's not worth starting the IT projects.  I said that up-thread.

I particularly dislike AI summaries in the Travel section here.  To me that's worthless. I'm looking for a needle in a haystack, rare find type of recommendation.  Not a boring list of what's in a destination city.[/quote]
