Besides helping students cheat. What does AI actually do? It gets answers wrong. It gets facts wrong, foreign countries are actively feeding its training algorithm wrong info [Russia]. It almost like the old birds that were mystified by landing on the moon are still chasing that American success high.
Spend your money if you want. Life in america is not gonna get better with this.
My office uses a model trained specifically on our work data. They can actually be quite accurate in those contexts. That’s what many corpos are using the tech internally for. Can’t remember what random SOP/regulation/etc covered XYZ and meta tags aren’t finding it on your SPO doc library? This tech comes in clutch ~95% of the time.
For this broad, ambiguous, general purpose approach? Yeah, idk, I guess many people are meeting their social needs with it, apparently.
Wouldn’t a wiki be all you need though? Most games and media communities have pretty well made ones maintained, and I’m sure checking categories on Bulbapedia would avoid any hallucination nonsense.
A professionally well-maintained wiki would work.
I can tell you that most corporations, if they even have a wiki, don’t have a well-maintained one (often despite their efforts).
You can be assured that it’s not just Russia and China feeding it garbage. There is a vast amount of propaganda in all forms of media that AI is trained on, and it comes from the west.
the vast majority comes from russia though, the west has a ton on specific niches. propaganda in the us, somewhat easier to figure out because its obvious.
Elon turned Grok into Mecha-Hitler.
Trump is telling the Smithsonian museum to ignore slavery, or to cover slavery as a positive.
The domestic appetite for propaganda is huge. Pragar U is American.
Let’s not center foreign countries when we have so much work to do at home.
Cheat, but end up getting caught, or results in detriment of thier career.
It is good for generating fanfiction from what I heard and as a search engine, but that is a low bar considering how bad google is these days.

Some translation tasks. Some how-to stuff. I’m told folks like using it to generate say-nothing replies to say-nothing emails?

I’ve used it for work bullshit like employee goals. My goal is to keep doing my job and tackle problems and projects as they are needed.
Also for giving examples for poorly-documented but popular programs.
It’s definitely not what the media and their PR makes it out to be.

Oh yeah that reminds me. It seems to have killed (possibly with the help of AI summary in search) stack exchange. Iirc you can see the visit rates plummet into oblivion.

SE/SO has been on the decline for a long time now. They pivoted to find more ways to monetize the answers and started enshittifying, trying to appeal to business clients and money-people instead of the users and developers who built the knowledgebase. It was good when it felt like a community helping each other, it fell off when it felt like a company milking you to build out their monetized wiki.
At this point, from their perspective, the biggest fuck up was not locking down SE from scrapers and building their own AI. It is in every way the same situation that Reddit is in, just with a more focused and higher quality data set (and fewer, arguably “higher quality,” users).

Translation is the only task that seems to make sense for it.
