… have you ever used it? I’ve built my own integrations with a handful of open source tools and added them to my workflow and with my recent file system corruption two days ago everything has doubled in the time it takes me.

I have built over 20 tiny apps to do small jobs and explicit tasks in my workflow in an easy and repeatable fashion with Ai. I’ve built a drag and drop transcription tool, and a drag and drop archiving tools for my folder which saves me a full day every month in getting back my hard drive space.

To the contrary, Ai is an insanely useful tool if you know how to use it. I highly encourage you actually take a look at it. My show is specifically about ways to make use of it and how to do it in a self hosted fashion as much as possible.

Apart from helping coding (with problems) and creating great images there is no major use case. AI hasn't yet produced a single new idea or discovery, let alone a world changing one. It most certainly is a fad. Its best use case is for grifting, trickery, manipulation of peoples minds, producing guff websites, manipulative advertising, and best of for spying on the public. There is currently only one actually good one: its fun to play with, like a toy, but it gets boring quick, because it is incapable of doing any new tricks. This is exactly what happened with Alexa/Siri its just the same gimmick, but a little bit better , sometimes.
