    Okay, sure. I’ll rephrase that.

    It’ll make existing humans who are not complete morons more efficient.

      No but seriously, does it? There have been a few studies now that show that it doesn’t really make work efficiënt. Hell, it seems to have a negative influence on our brains.

      Of course we can blame the users and call it a garbage in garbage out scenario, but even with decent data it hallucinates data that doesn’t exists.

        We don’t really know yet just from an empirical standpoint. I theory it seems useful in the narrow areas that it’s good at (translation/summarization and any tasks analogous to those).

        We have a running joke at work that any problem it can’t solve is a skill issue with prompt engineering. At least… I hope it’s a joke.

        Anecdotally, I’ve been an infinite times more efficient in some tasks thanks to AI.

        Hell, it seems to have a negative influence on our brains.

        Sure, that could very well be. I would welcome a study that compares its negative effect to social media. My guess is that this is worse.

  AI will not replace humans, it’ll just make the existing humans more efficient.

  This must be a form of AI that hasn’t been invented yet. I’ve yet to meet a useful implementation.

    As a software developer, AI has made me ten times more efficient. Before AI I used to produce 2-5 new bugs per day of work…

      I suppose it could be useful if you have the sort of boss that thinks productivity is based on the number of lines of code you write.

      I will never understand programmers claiming that AI makes them more efficient. As if Emmett and snippets hasn’t already existed for a decade or so

        They were joking, they “went from 2-5 bugs per day to ten times that!”

        It makes non-programmers more efficient. If you reach the limits of what text editors or Excel can do natively with REGEX and have to write scripts for data formatting, AI is a godsend. Takes 10 Minutes to generate a small script, glance over it to make sure it’s ok, test it and start batch formating files rather than spend hours doing it by hand.

    Perhaps you’re just too awesome.

      Yeah, apologies. I was busy imagining a you 'puter.

  It will make all labour “unskilled” labour which, at least at first, will allow big business to pay everyone less.
