My workplace blocks all AI tools. Where I was working last year, they actively encouraged it and I feel I got quite good at prompts. I'd say I used it at least 3 or 4 times a week to kick start various tasks, or organise my work. Now, I try to keep up at home (I like Notion and the AI built into that) but I do think my skills are being impacted by being in an anti AI company. I wonder if in the future the top candidates will be looking into these things and choosing where to work based on the answer.
Thanks for putting the stuff that can trigger us to go "below the line", below a line. How we look at the world is clearly reflected by the view we chose to take, and I feel blessed to be able to read your considered and constructive views Bruce. Stunned myself by the value AI can bring, but appreciative that human connection will never be replaced as its biological and we are a long way from machines having trigger neurons. We don't even know enough about our own biology (and our gut biome and how our physiology reacts to music for example), so we can't yet teach that to the machines....
I think perplexity.ai summed it best: "As an AI language model, I don't actually have knowledge beyond what I've been trained on, and I can't discover new information or make novel connections. However, I can highlight some interesting cross-domain relationships that have been observed by researchers"
LLM is a great research tool, but it can't effectively generate new information. As someone who uses technology daily, you need to trust but verify anything these models produce. They are only as good as the breadth of all human knowledge.
