I used AI today for a short period. Then I gave it up because it kept giving me stupid ideas and I just did it myself. I have yet to be impressed by literally anything other than the sinister abilities of its uses as a surveillance tool, A tool in the US Nuclear Program and the dragnet. Even Palantir, Peter Thiel's little monster he created is inaccurate and costly. His little tool scrapes Twitter and it uses osint accounts and it ended up killing a bunch of meaningless civilians. The person who owned the OSINT account donated money to charity cause they felt guilty. So coming from just a business perspective, from fiscal realities, it is clear that most of this AI bullshit is just a bunch of buzzwords and nonsense. A way for big business to just lower the bar, lower standards crush small business and hollow out America. AI has yet to actually show me something that I find valuable. The bubble it gonna pop.
