    That's what I've been saying! But apparently being deeply skeptical of AI for most of its current use cases makes me a luddite.

    The only "AI" is that of the marketeers who have latched onto another "must have" buzzword. Today's standard of what constitutes AI would more than qualify my oximeter algorithms for adaptive pattern recognition created in 1985.

    LOL, this is one for the jokes thread.

    Thank goodness for spoll chuckers. Grammer correction is a maybe-useful, IF it is right. Manners? No. We don't need that from any WP or mail program. We might want to be rude. f**k them.

    @Lyander, fellow Luddite! I quickly saw that what is now called "AI" is just a massive vomit machine. It will spread ignorance.

    It is a technology I have no use for at all

    I've always found M$ spelling and grammar tools intrusive with their ding dong suggestions to make me sound bland and soulless. I don't use their writing products anymore but I imagine with AI it's next level ding dongery.

    Ngl, I love boost the current LLM "AI" bots have given me for work. I write a lot of grant applications and I am able to reuse what I write but re-mix it to suit individual applications. I will add, though, that I like my own writing better than the highschool english that AI pumps out. I use it more to aggregate information and organize it.

    If I was a "journalist" (you have to put that in quotes now), I would be writing headlines using @Thad E Ginathom description: "AI" is just a massive vomit machine.

    ...for two reasons 1) it's true & 2) since AI can do what most "journalists" do today anyways, it would be self interests as I might keep my job a little longer.

    Unless your English skills are truly deplorable I would never use AI for any human to human interaction. AI does not have unique personal interests or passions and the lack of humanity in AI writing is painful.

    @fraggler I agree with you on this. I use it in a similar way for grant and copy decks. Something I also do is to ask it to give me "copy notes" like a copy editor would do. That way I get the mechanics done quickly and don't need to use all the tone notes it gives me.

    OK... real, productive ways of using it. Different kettle of fish. Fir that kind of usage, I just don't have any need.

    It's also pretty great at small coding projects. I understand the principals of a bunch of programming languages and can hack my way through - but am by no means fluent. It has really changed my practice in many ways - days of work in an afternoon kind of change.

    I align with "I want AI to do my laundry and taxes so that I can make art, not for AI to do all this crap so that I have more time to work". Let the man write terse emails (and let me wring this prose purple from hypoxia).

    My newest annoyance with M$ is the fact that I can't exit and save a document file anymore (Office 2019) because it tries to force me to use onedrive rather than save locally. I have to save then exit in that order. Small things, but irksome.

    That would be a huge thing for me. So would having to "log in" to MS before using my PC. No, no, no, no, NO.

    And yet, for all this supposed progress in "AI," autocomplete and predictive typing on mobile-phone keypads remains dumb-blind stupid.
