The term AI sure gets tossed around a LOT. Kinda like Quantum ... as if folks even have the faintest idea what it is.
So all these AI comments - are you referring to using an Agent like Claude, a chatbot like ChatGBT, machine learning as in Alexa like devices and on and on.
Me? I am shutting of Gemini and Co-Pilot whenever they pop up. For some things an agent is fine, to have it in my face all the time is invasive, and not needed. I know how to write how to create a useful database and how to work Excel, so really, fuck off. Further I do not recall ever explicitly giving various software companies the right to use my shit for their training purposes so again, fuck off.
Onto useful at work, I have a guy who is pretty good at coding etc, uses Claude on a lot of the research data looking for patterns etc. Savings are marginal but for a purpose like that its good. If we did not have it, its not a deal breaker.
My biggest concern is security and who is mining my shit for their purposes.
