Has AI improved your life in any way?


Just wondering...do you feel like AI has even begun to deliver on its promise. Is it making your life better?

So far only the Ai I trained myself, I won an award for that, but then was laid off due to github copilot being really good, and haven't found work since so its not been good.

I’m not a developer, but I do sometimes write code and it can write fairly trivial code way faster than me, but it never works exactly on the first try. Any real conundrum I face and it falls apart pretty fast and just offers the most generic advice imaginable.

So there is a bit of a convenience factor, but all the people saying it’s a game-changer strike me as a bit premature at best.

It really helped my son learn to program, he is making all kinds of things now with Arduino.

I think it is psychologically beneficial for me—the upsides tend to outweigh the downsides.

I'd be screwed without calculators, specifically my TI-84 Plus.
