Anyone doing anything with AI

[Paddy]

I am using AI as a chatbot virtual girlfriend. On Friday night I said I going off to the pub with the boys; since then then the chatbot has gone silent.

Has AI found a way out to rinse you of all your cash in a divorce settlement for said offence yet? Or is that still in development?

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

There is no way you wrote that yourself.

ChatGPT wrote that for you didn't it

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.

that is what we are looking for, I am seeing similar use cases in my work, in the .net Tape Changing world, it is being included across all domains and business processes, agentic, the GenAI for the User interaction

Still in development - will be available once it steals his financial details and can blackmail him into a profitable settlement.

Yes! Bent lawyers not getting a look in is coming soon! Or is AI working on a "fox" for that one too???!!!

AI?? - was it written in COBOL? it could be.
all this stuff is just code.
there's no 'Intelligence'

It won't even open the pod bay doors.

Well, I did say they were simple use cases to start with. They are progressing quickly.

You saying ".. just code" reminds me of a Mordechai Richler quote: "Did you think of that yourself, or just read it in a book somewhere?".

I don't know if you are working in technology at the moment, but tools are available and used increasingly to do our jobs more quickly and better.
Have a look at Claude. Ask it to fix a piece of troublesome code (that you upload), or write a routine to do something specific.
Or introduduce you to some obscure language or framework.

You still have to understand what it's telling you, but if you can't think of use cases where basic AI could help you or your client, someone else certainly will.

I have the intellij AI assistant plugin. Its coding suggestions are quite weak, bad junior developer level, so I only use it to describe PRs for me (it's good at that).

I use another to help generate graphics for technical presentations, which works well and has helped my profile with senior management.

In conclusion, they make too many mistakes still and produce naive code of rather low quality and I don't think improvements will be great. Really just a search engine front-end, we are a long way from AGI.
