I’m using it extensively, for instance, I have to create contracts with businesses that I work with, and AI is really helpful, works within minutes, and I don’t have to get a lawyer involved (I have sufficient legal know how, to be able to check the texts). I ask Claude.AI many questions, which help me to find out about any kind of topic (eg I wanted to know more about mobile nuclear reactors and got a quick summary within seconds). Naturally, you should take nothing at face value, blindly believing AI won’t do you any good, AI does not replace your brain. I create marketing materials and personal profiles with the help of AI, and I’ve also improved my CV. I have even used it to write a message to a friend who lost their son to cancer, I truly was at a loss for words, but AI helped me to come up with some useful sentences (which I personalized). All in all, it is extremely useful, even to answer questions here on Lemmy.
Thanks for posting an actual unpopular opinion. Can’t tell if half agree or not because so many people are dumb and down vote opinions they disagree with in this community.
Ive tested these tools really hoping they are half as good as people say but they are just shit. When you ask it topics that you know you can see how bad the info is. Its hard to trust it. I used copilot to quickly check the tmp requirement of a CPU and instead of finding me the official documentation like I asked and getting the result from there it parroted a comment from the hp fourm (link at a glance looked correct enough) which was completely wrong.
At that point its just like why did I even bother when i can pull up the spec sheet in 3 actions search>click official spec sheet>Ctrl+f boom.
Copilot button > search Its not even much faster.
