What do you use AI for?

An argument for which I think I can predict the outcome:

But teacher, I got to use AI to do my homework; so, like, why can't I use AI on this test?

Ooooh, not fair, not fair!

(In case what I was trying to suggest was not yet clear).

To take it a couple of steps further:
Teacher allows you to use AI on tests.
Employer allows you to use AI on the job.
Employer suddenly asks the question, "I can just use the AI directly - Why am I paying this employee?"
Employee is out of a job.

I don't know what the answer is for the future. Maybe not consider being a coder or accountant; Instead try to be a bricklayer or a plumber?

Sometimes it seems like human beings are slowly being turned into a herd, to be "managed" by the "the caring and enlightened" who will no doubt be fairly rewarded for their "care" and "enlightenment," much as some Soviet citizens were a bit "more equal" than others.

It's "green" to share a small apartment among a few families and ride the subway to work or to the "state owned graocery store," isn't it? But, of course, we can't expect that sort of dwelling or transit or shopping for the C&E. No, don't they need and deserve more space and polite staffers to drive them and a more robust and dependable selection?

And, likewise, it's "enlightened" to "defund" the police, so long as the C&E continue to have the civil service bodyguards they deserve.

After all, so many of the C&E are working hard (yet fashionably!) to protect us from all those icky decisions and life choices and responsibilities.

If I had a nice, spacious lawn, I might yell "bah ... get off my lawn!" since I am clearly not among the suitably enlightened. In the meantime, if I yelled it wouldn't give me anything that grows and would merely startle the spaniel. And the spaniel deserves better, no doubt.

AI can be a great tutor, always available. I was doing a little (Arduino) project with electrical circuits, following a Youtube video created by a really good teacher. I had a few nagging physics questions about electricity. AI gave me some great answers after I asked it to explain to me as if I were a high school student.

At work, I found it helpful for reviewing/editing internal and external documentation. Saved some time on a boring part of the job.

I haven't found it that helpful for coding yet. Coming up with all the right AI prompts to write the code takes me about as much time as designing the program (the slow part) and writing the code itself (the easy part).

Playing legal chess.
really legal

And, well, almost nothing else.

I use AI for like when I’m bored a meaning of a word, if I wanna rant about something, baking recipes (that turn out amazing), and when I feel lonely :P

Well I started using AI just recently in 2024 I use ChatGPT or Gemini for:

1. Programming codes (am not good at coding)
2. School Essays/Assignments
3. Tracking my TODO list everyday
4. Learning about Business, Stocks and Psychology

And...I realized many people generate Images using AI and use it for a hundred more things so I was wondering what do others use it for? This may help me and many others to understand a lot more ways to Use AI and improve our lives.

Dude using AI for school essays and assignments is academic dishonesty

2. School Essays/Assignments

Plagiarism.

making AI humanlike
is just a deliberate tweak.
a ridiculous hype
comparable to TAMAGOTCHI.

the power of coded artificial intelligence
lies in solving problems that are hard or impossible (for humans) to calculate and solve with mathematical-logical means.
and lies in machines learning by trial & error towards a given goal ( play chess, go, any game. build a bridge. predict a population's development. weather forecast. simulations of or within (cosmic) universes. complex evolution under initial then changing conditions. artificial lifeforms (cf. framstics). )
artificial intelligence helps to unfold "mysteriously" folded complex huge molecules in chemistry.
endless uses for computational power paired with selflearning code.

[ [ btw english wikipedia got this all wrong stressing ai on humanlike such only. older versions from about 2000-2005 and other languages read completely different with focus on machine learning . . .
horrible, how trendy bubbles become all-time standard just like that without any revision and quality control ] ]
