Really depends on the task. In these cases it’s probably fine to update or swap models since this task is not critical.

Nope, the version I have on my local HD is a snapshot in time. It won’t get better but no need to update.

That is an interesting paper for sure! Thanks for sharing it.

For sure but I don’t know Python. I can edit a script but I’m not proficient enough to make a new one.

I run most of my AI local on my GPU only on rare moments do I bother with commercial systems.

Cant pull the plug, the model is local and running on my GPU. So I could break it if I wanted to but im not dependent on someone else.

Yes but now they are accessible to anyone.

If I could have found the code, and copied it yes. Using AI means I did not have to search for it, did not need to learn Python, and then did not need to do the tasks.

Please understand I hate 90% of all the AI bullshit being forced on us, and employers requiring AI use is insane. I am just saying that blanked hate is short sighted because it is useful in some cases, and the number of cases keep going up as we improve things.

I could also use a dictionary to check my spelling, but having spell check enabled is just faster.

Put in an application yesterday, got a call back today. Rest is up to me.

No i dont know if it missed something, but im not relying on the Exe summery for perfect detail, im using it to know which document is which and then using the index to go to points in the PDF.

Nope still just *****.. so it added the periods for some reason but I still cant see the password.

Fair criticism, because it is “good enough” and it saved me so much time because I only needed detailed information on a few of the documents. But that is the point, it takes a repetitive bulk niche task and lets YOU quickly and simply create an automation that meets your needs.

Another example I have been using is having an AI read a resume, and do an ATS review based on a job posting. Then it generates a fit report, and makes suggestions on how the resume can be adjusted to better get past the ATS to an actual person. This is very useful in getting call backs for job applications. That has a real value.

Yeah i used it for a boilerplate task, and then I did not have to do that task. I was able to scan in hundreds of documents, and at the end I had a fully indexed, properly file named, summarized, and searchable PDF library. Just doing one document at a time manually would have been a multi hour task for me, and in a few hours I was done, and it was good enough to good.

All I see is ******* can you try copying and pasting it directly, or even typing it out manually? Maybe use the spoiler tag? Not sure I can help you if its just ******

Your experience and feelings are totally valid, its still a shit show and in most cases a massive waste of power, water, brain power, and money. I am just saying that with the right training, and appropriate use, AI really can be effective NOW. One thing you can do is describe the task, and ask the AI to write a prompt to accomplish it. Then test that prompt in a new chat, and see if you get better results.

Most AIs will tell you how to improve your prompts.

It really depends on the task and the tool. Current MOE models that have agentic hooks can actually be really useful for doing automated tasks. Generally, you don’t want to be using AI to create things. What you want to do is hand it a very clear set of instructions along with source material. And then tell it to either iterate build on summarize or in some cases create from that.

I created a simple script with the help of AI to automate scanning files in from an automatic document reader. Convert them to OCRD PDFs. Scan through the document properly. Title the file based on the contents, then create a separate executive summary and then add an index to a master index file of a growing json.

Doing this allowed me to automate several steps that would have taken time and in the end I’m able to just search through my folders and my PDFs and very quickly find any information I need.

And this is only scratching the surface. I wouldn’t have AI write me a resume or write me an email or a book. I might use it to generate an image that I then give to a real artist saying this is kind of what was in my head.

But boring stuff repetitive stuff. Things that really benefit from automation with a little bit of reasoning and thinking behind it. That’s where we are right now with AI.

The expanse did this well because they used acceleration not artificial gravity.
