AI can’t be all that bad. The problem I’m always seeing with AI is a double-edged sword. You have corporations shoving AI in just about everything, treating it like its a cure for cancer and that really rubs people the wrong way. Then, on a more of a society level, you’ve got people who use AI for an assortment of things like making art with AI and still accredit themselves as an artist to people who treat AI like a therapist when it is not advised to.
However, I’ve found some benefits with AI. For example, I’m chatting with ChatGPT on credit cards, because it is something I may lean towards getting into. It’s helping me better understand than most people have tried explaining to me. Simply because it is giving me a more stream-lined response than people just beating the bush.
I had a project of markdown files. About 400 of them, with about 1200 plus links in them.
The original filenames were changed. The links no longer worked.
The LLM went through each link, and found the new one, based on filename and file content, using its ability to recognise patterns, words, etc etc.
Absolutely saved me maybe a couple of days of manual pain labour, and all done in about 10 minutes.
This is the kind of thing I use it for. Horrible repetitive processes.
