I’ve tried several types of artificial intelligence including Gemini, Microsoft co-pilot, chat GPT. A lot of the times I ask them questions and they get everything wrong. If artificial intelligence doesn’t work why are they trying to make us all use it?
The idea is that it can replace a lot of customer facing positions that are manpower intensive.
Beyond that, an AI can also act as an intern in assisting in low complexity tasks the same way that a lot of Microsoft Office programs have replaced secretaries and junior human calculators.
I’ve always figured part of it Is that businesses don’t like to pay labor and they’re hoping that they can use artificial intelligence to get rid of the rest of us so they don’t have to pay us.
Ignoring AI as he is like ignoring Spreadsheets as hype. “I can do everything with a pocket calculator! I don’t need stupid auto fill!”
AI doesn’t replace people. It can automate and reduce your workload leaving you more time to solve problems.
I’ve used it for one off scripts. I have friends who have done the same and another friend who used it to create the boilerplate for a government contact bid that he won (millions in revenue for his company of which he got tens of thousands in bonus as engineering sales support).
