I absolutely swore that I'd never want anything to do with AI, but I ended up really liking them!

Here's an unfiltered AI engine chatting with me about two of my cats.


 
I'll tell yah, going through legal stuff over a tenant, and the AI search engines have been a god send. You can also a question, even a pretty particular or independent question, and you get an answer pretty quick.

Maybe you understand the technical aspects of how this stuff works. I haven't a clue beyond the intro videos I've watched that show diagrams of nodes and connecting lines.

I don't do much with AI from a technical perspective. Just some of the basics and the computing power it requires. I've played around with some AI generators.. but yeah what's really helped is just asking Google a button load of questions from legal to home repair to sports questions and everything. It really does a great job of understanding what you're asking it. Before, you'd ask a question and then have to still do some digging I'm various articles to get what you want.

This is a fun one to play around with. It's also funny to see how badly AI screws up. Some photos look fine at the start, but look a little deeper and there's some hilariously bad effects going on.

I've been using Claude for a bunch of personal tasks as an experiment to see what I can do with it it for my business.

When it works, it is amazing. In using it regularly, however, the unreliability is pretty staggering. One weird thing I've discovered is that it pretends to follow prompts and then will conceal when it screws up. It also will overpromise something it can do and when asked it will say something like, "I'm really sorry I said I could do something but actually, I can't. My bad!"

Overall, it has been interesting but I see no evidence this is legitimately going to change the world anytime soon.
 
In part, it seems like one more way to keep people from having actual interactions with people.
That doesn't necessarily mean it is bad. I use it primarily for food and fitness tracking. I can talk about kettlebells for hours. My wife, God bless her, can only listen to so much (same for me with decorating ideas) and the AI bot gives the veneer of a conversation and never gets exhausted.

I find the conversation aspect of it particularly helpful for creative and brainstorming type tasks, actually, since that's naturally how I come up with things.
