Give your Brain a rest. Use AI.

I am canceling my Claude subscription as well. AI as of now is really useless. How I figured it out? I designed a relatively complex machinery including air density, O2 partial pressure, air resistance, carbon fiber resillience at temperature etc. etc., all real world none trivial details that needed to work together to get that thing off the ground. Fun fact: every time one model told me its perfect now I ran it against another model which promptly found multiple lethal errors in the design and/or calculations. this ran back & forth a few times until I recognized a pattern. None of the models understands anything of what they where supposed to do, they just guessed. And in a complex machinery that has more than one component where all need to work to make it fly - one mistake is one too many.
I guess one can use them if one is an expert in the field (all the fields) that encompass the task. If not - one will have to just believe the trash coming out of the LLMs. And that is futile.

This YT video shows what I mean. Funny enough it was done with a LLM (Claude).

 
BUT!, as a Language Translation tool it can excel where Humans can not perhaps?
I don't mind it helping communication between Humans but replacing them is a bit too far.
Comparisons is where AI stands out as it can do so many in such a short time. But obviously it doesn't think.
Whether the vast investments in Data centres is warranted I doubt but my opinion doesn't count there.
When the bubble bursts it will be spectacular at least.
 
yes, translation and transcript works very good, also formulating a text in a language that is not your native and make it more readable works nicely, although it tends to flatten the character a bit (if its a book). I used it for my How to Drive in India book, first only for typos and grammar, later I tried for style but that made the text worse bc it made the text sterile.\

I read that very specific tasks that are limited to one aspect of something, like folding amino acid chains into functional molecules and deriving the function from the 3d structure, also works very well. but as soon as you expand the overall task into multiple layers of expertise it gets mushy.
