    Spammers are using it A LOT.

      eBay are going to start scraping your personal data from 21 April to train their AI. You can in theory opt out, except the toggle on the web page doesn't work because (according to L2 support) it's a new feature and isn't working yet.

      My hunch is the feature will be enabled on 22 April, after they've taken what they want and then I'll have to battle to get it deleted by which time whatever 'learning' they can get from my account will be done.

        in the .net tape changing world it is bringing a lot of value and no I didn't just make that up

        conversational ai to chat with the tape changer, the ai becomes the ui this really is a game changer and will make previously slow tape changing activities much faster

        and then have agents in the different functional domains of the tape change talking to each other across the end to end tape changing process

        this is also a game changer

        so all in all things are getting very interesting in the tape changing world

              Indeed.

              My last client had a bunch of simple use cases that they solved with AI.
              Things like scanning a paper form and converting the data to a series of conformed values for input to a system, with references as to where the data came from.
              Simple, but very labour intensive to do do manually. Much better data quality with AI.

              For the next phase, I suggested using it to improve technical pricing and cat modelling.

              An earlier Pharma client is currently setting up an AI workbench. I don't know how it will turn out, but generative AI could very useful to create new molecules for drugs.

              At my current client, I use 4 different AI models depending on what I'm doing, but enterprise-wide AI isn't widely adopted.

                Just used CoPilot to summarise the transcript from a 6 hour workshop. Actually did a reasonable job. Saved me from going mad trying to figure out why BA became beer and haul became horse.

                  The learnings that they will get from my account is humans have varied interests so anything they tried to push at me will be wrong.

                    Using it all the time. Have a premium version of Chatgpt obviously. Then Grok and just testing Manus. Have a subscription to Kaiber AI where I've been doing animations.
                    Just written a childrens book and presently animating it. Have used it to learn Looker, Google Big Query, GA4 & PowerBi in the last month.
                    Have written a guide on Prompt Engineering. Just writing a learn AI in 28 days guide with 28 different tools covering everything from programming to marketing, sales.

                    Used it to write a scraper for multiple websites, and this morning generating a Vinted to Ebay import routine. Oh and just registered a new website to put my animations up next week and stick a chat bot in it
