I don't mind AI now that I've vastly lowered my expectations of what it can do, and am aware that "AI" isn't actually real. An LLM might be useful in some situations where you can reasonably expect it to give a decent answer and where your task isn't particularly important.
Problem is, most of it is forced on you and is not privacy friendly.
I use as an advanced rubber duck for coding.
I know the answer is wrong but it gets my brain going into finding the right answer.
Like: "This is a ridiculous approach to make this. It would be much easier to just..."
Getting the wrong answer sometimes speed up the process, like some kind of dialectics.
After dabbling with AI for years, I think it should be called out for what it is; machine learning. We're not in the ballpark of intelligence and barely close to mimicking (artificial) intelligence.
Though ML has a lot of things going for it, my most successful results are with voice synthesizing. Almost flawless and pretty amazing considered the yield.
could be useful if it wasn't for capitalism smh
There are uses for AI in scientific and other things where using it for pattern matching to help find areas to focus on and then thoroughly doing the real work where accuracy is important are where the current AI really excels.

It didn't just spit out answers they treated as correct, it did stuff they looked into and found ways to improve their methods. That is the real benefit of AI.
