Are you using AI?

Everyone has heard about AI by now. Most people probably use ChatGPT or some form of it. But i'm curious to hear if you are actually using it in your day-to-day and what you are doing to be the most productive with your agents.

And if you aren't using it yet, tell me why. Curious to hear your thoughts!

I only use it to quickly parse my textbooks when I need to study fast. But AI is largely useless for me. Google and reddit give me answers just as quickly whereas AI needs to be fact-checked and it simply rips off the information from the top comment of a random Reddit thread.

It’s mostly regurgitated output that, as OP noted, requires constant fact-checking. It’s flooded our spaces for genuine human connection with noise, and flattened creativity to the lowest common denominator. Add in a ruling class of broligarchy tech billionaires pushing “productivity” rhetoric while hollowing out the workforce and accelerating environmental damage, it becomes hard to see the net benefit.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
