    Lemmy users dont know shit about how Ai is used. Most are probably still in school. :) My experience is the same as yours - companies are pushing for Ai because it allows employees to work faster and get more done. Significantly so.

    I can ask it to create a script to do a task that would have taken hours or days to put together. Things like that are major wins and very, very easy to do.

    I frequently ask it to compare tools as well, saving days or weeks of work. Whoever says this technology is not useful is just not using it right.

    That being said, making money from this is the question. Companies are subscribing their employees to this stuff, so I think revenue is going to go way up in the coming years, not just from buying chips, but from companies paying for Ai models for their employees.

    Any company still doing manual work is gonna be much much slower than the others.

      I think the Lemmy perception of AI boils down to just a few things:

      1. but it hallucinates!
      2. I hate tech bros
      3. but the MIT report!

      Of course there’s more, like underlying fear of losing jobs, stealing from artists, and being dehumanized in general.

      I happen to care a lot about those things too, but ranting on about 1-3 doesn’t actually help and is just people repeating each others points in a circle jerk. Meanwhile AI is on the move.
