I was initially a skeptic until I was encouraged to use it at work, to see if I could find ways it could help reduce the pain points of my workflows.
I begrudgingly took this as a challenge to disprove it’s usefulness, but quickly found out I kind-of enjoyed trying to figure out what makes it tick, and how to make it output the most reliable and reproducible results for the given task.
A year and a half later, the ability to efficiently use AI for problem solving and automated pipelines has allowed me to breathe new life into my career trajectory as well as my hobbies.
I am an unapologetic AI user and enjoyer.
It’s refreshing to see a disparate view on the subject. It breaks up the monotony of the anti-AI echo chamber.
I don’t have a problem with AI at all. As usual, my problem is with the billionaires and corporations creating it.
My misled, ideal, utopian vision would be seeing it become a public service/utility, and that we find a less destructive way to power the infrastructure needed to scale.
