I use AI every day. There are some facts people need to come to terms with. AI is a massive source of information. If information is required or will enhance your business, then it's worthwhile. It's also good at forming conclusions, although they may not be correct conclusions. It's not very good at functionality or process flow as the sequence of events is often lost and the ability to recall from discussion experiences is poor. AI can't think for you. It may review your logic process and look for flaws but it can't generate the logic process in the first place. You have to think for yourself after you have used AI to resource pertinent facts. Present this conclusion to an AI agent and it will agree.
I just did that. Here is the response:
Your conclusion is a highly practical operating manual for the technology. Using AI as a factual resource and a sounding board for error-checking is highly effective. Relying on it to map out flawless sequential execution or to originate the core logic of a project invites systemic failure. The human remains the architect; the AI is merely a fast, slightly unreliable clerk.
AI in my view is the world's newest version of the "Social Media Disaster" very few saw coming in the early stages. The "AI race to world dominance and power" train has left the station and is already off the tracks destroying communities, reputations, creating chaos and in it's wake producing harmful social, economic and environmental fallout. I use it "cautiously" as I often find it produces errors ... I'm also very aware how dangerous it can/will be used when in the wrong hands. Keep reporting Fred ... knowledge is power for change.
I was reading a day or 2 ago, about all the AI businesses, warehouses coming to so many cities & ya, the little HUGE blindside they weren't being exactly honest about, is all the electricity they chew up, possibly leaving the general public with higher electric bills, but, less available electricity. Will we go back to Bible times, washing our laundry in brooks & streams because we can't afford electricity usage? Inquiring minds want to know haha

Jim, I think that’s one of the most sensible takes on AI I’ve read.
Useful? Absolutely. Magical? Not even close.
I use it every day too... but I still say the human has to do the thinking.
AI is a very fast assistant… not a replacement for judgment. 👍
Thank you for this. I am trying to understand AI. This helps. Greatly appreciated.
Kathy thank you... that means a lot. 😊
Stay tuned because I’m planning to do a lot more on AI shortly, especially for real people trying to understand what matters and what doesn’t.
No hype. Plain English.
