    I don’t use AI because it can’t do the part of my job I don’t like.

    Why give AI the part of my job I like and make me work more on things I don’t like?

      I’m the opposite. AI is best (though not great) at boring shit I don’t want to do and sucks at the stuff I love - problem solving.

        I only ever use it for data crunching, which it only does well most of the time. So I always have to check it’s work to some degree.

          How are you using it for data crunching? That’s an honest question, based on my experiences with AI I can’t imagine how I’d use them to crunch data.

          So I always have to check it’s work to some degree.

          That goes without saying. Every AI I’ve seen or heard of generates some level of garbage.

            Deep learning doesn’t stop at llms. Honestly, language isn’t a great use case for them. They are—by nature—statistics machines, so if you have a fuck load of data to crunch, they can work very quickly to find patterns. The patterns might not always be correct, but if they are easy to check, then it might be faster to use them and modify the result compared to doing it all yourself.

            I don’t know what this person does, though, and it will depend on the specifics of the situation for how they are used.

      what are the things you (don’t) like? one of my hobbies is game developement (in Rust) and no AI managed to help me yet, on the other hand it’s pretty good at repetetive and boring tasks like writing emails

          I wouldn’t, but only because I enjoy writing, even for email
