Feel like we’ve got a lot of tech savvy people here seems like a good place to ask. Basically as a dumb guy that reads the news it seems like everyone that lost their mind (and savings) on crypto just pivoted to AI. In addition to that you’ve got all these people invested in AI companies running around with flashlights under their chins like “bro this is so scary how good we made this thing”. Seems like bullshit.

I’ve seen people generating bits of programming with it which seems useful but idk man. Coming from CNC I don’t think I’d just send it with some chatgpt code. Is it all hype? Is there something actually useful under there?

    It’s insanely useful.

    Take ChatGPT for instance.

    You can essentially use it as an interactive docs when learning something new.

    You can paste in a large text document and get it summarize it.

    You can paste in a review and get it to do sentiment analysis and generate scores out of 100 for different things (actively pursuing this at work and it looks great)

    I use it all the time to write simple regex and code snippets.

    Machine learning has many massive applications. Many phone cameras use it to get the quality of photos up massively.

    It’s used all over the place without you even realising.
