I can see some minor benefits - I use it for the odd bit of mundane writing and some of the image creation stuff is interesting, and I knew that a lot of people use it for coding etc - but mostly it seems to be about making more cash for corporations and stuffing the internet with bots and fake content. Am I missing something here? Are there any genuine benefits?

    AI has some interesting use cases, but should not be trusted 100%.

    Like github copilot ( or any “code copilot”):

    • Good for repeating stuff but with minor changes
    • Can help with common easy coding errors
    • Code quality can take a big hit
    • For coding beginners, it can lead to a deficit of real understanding of your code
      ( and because of that could lead to bugs, security backdoors… )

    Like translations ( code or language ):

    • Good translation of the common/big languages ( english, german…)
    • Can extend a brief summary to a big wall of text ( and back )
    • If wrong translated it can lead to that someone else understands it wrong and it misses the point
    • It removes the “human” part. It can be most of the time depending on the context easily identified.

    Like classification of text/Images for moderation:

    • Help for identify bad faith text / images
    • False Positives can be annoying to deal with.

    But dont do anything that is IMPORTANT with AI, only use it for fun or if you know if the code/text the AI wrote is correct!

      Adding to the language section, it’s also really good at guessing words if you give it a decent definition. I think this has other applications but it’s quite useful for people like me with the occasionally leaky brain.

      Actually the summaries are good, but you have to know some of it anyway and then check to see if it’s just making stuff up. That’s been my experience.
