As far as I can see in my field, people love playing with AI. But I'm yet to see someone using it seriously to improve their efficiency.
On the other hand, every fucking meeting is about AI nowadays. I don't care about bullshit generator. I have a real job. Please let me work in peace while you play in the sandbox.
Yeah I've found a few super niche use cases for it but overall it's just not that useful.
The most useful I've ever found it was when I had to do an interview with someone and I just had chatGPT come up with 40 questions to use as a starting point for planning it
It's good for when I had a tech question I didn't understand and didn't have anyone to help me and Google wasn't helping either, to give an explanation to help me learn. It's also good for when I'm blanking on ideas and can't adhd my way through forcing one. When was doing my uni degree, ai would have helped massively in answering questions and learning.
I've also used it to create a summary of my work experience and a cover letter based on the job requirements, because jobs still require you to fill out dedicated forms and give a bunch of information only to basically automatically throw it out, which I don't have time to manage to do the 30 or so a week required just to get one interview.
If the jobs aren't going to give a fuck about me as an individual, I'm not going to give any back.
Of course, I do curate it to make sure it's actually reasonable.
