In contrast to the opinion of most people here, AI is actually great.

I’m using it extensively, for instance, I have to create contracts with businesses that I work with, and AI is really helpful, works within minutes, and I don’t have to get a lawyer involved (I have sufficient legal know how, to be able to check the texts). I ask Claude.AI many questions, which help me to find out about any kind of topic (eg I wanted to know more about mobile nuclear reactors and got a quick summary within seconds). Naturally, you should take nothing at face value, blindly believing AI won’t do you any good, AI does not replace your brain. I create marketing materials and personal profiles with the help of AI, and I’ve also improved my CV. I have even used it to write a message to a friend who lost their son to cancer, I truly was at a loss for words, but AI helped me to come up with some useful sentences (which I personalized). All in all, it is extremely useful, even to answer questions here on Lemmy.
