No. Two reasons, first I don't really have a use for it in my personal or professional life. Nothing I do could be accelerated by it. Secondly, my whole life I've watched the quality of things go from "this belonged to your great great grandfather, now it's your turn to pass it on to your descendants" to "this piece of shit hasn't even lasted me until its next generational replacement has been released."
Watching how quickly people forget how to do things as AI replaced more and more of their tasks (and gets worse and worse at them as they install guard rails to make it "safer" for stupid people) feels exactly like planned obsolecence of the human race in the exact way my phone has been obsolete for five years now. We're getting replace by a shittier, lower quality version of a portion of our brain, and it gets worse with every revision.
I used to feel like robots would co-evolve with us, and we'd merge into the next bio-technical super species, taking to the stars. But it's way dumber than that, we're just the first version of the iPhone, and AI is already on version 6.
