What are your thoughts on AI?
I'm honestly a little disappointed in it. It is being sold as a wonder solution which will solve all my problems, yet for what I need it do to it rarely helps me and just gets in my way.
I'm a software developer, so the way AI is marketed towards me is to help write programming code and make me more efficient. Yet everything an AI suggests I use is usually wrong, or doesn't understand what the bigger picture is. Another way I'm told it will help me is to use a chat interface to ask questions back and forth, yet almost every answer I get back produces examples which simply don't work, they just look like they work.
All in all, to me the dream vs reality is still very far apart, so I don't like the way I'm told it's going to improve my life when it seems to do the opposite.

I have found that the AI has to be treated as dumb and you need to detail your requirements explicitly and without assumptions - lay out exactly what it has to do and what the parameters are.
This is often more complex than the task it is doing however.

The trick here is to make your requirements modular so you just copy and past the sections you need. This saves loads of time and makes sure you don't need to remember the small stuff (UK date format, currency in punds etc).
As in software dev you will soon have your own library of these and you can craft the requests in no time.

....spoken wisely by all "doers"..... if you are a "doer", it's almost always easier to "just do it" rather than explain what needs to be done AND how it must be done.
