I'm a boomer and I am still real impressed with AI's ability to do basic code for me. The robot recently wrote me a script I could've written myself, but I wouldn't have taken the time. And it saved these useful, historically interesting industrial files that I would have allowed to fall into the sands of time otherwise. That's all on the AI and godbless.
But my other use case lately has been dealing with ancient circuit boards- repairs and so on. And boy, let me tell you, no matter how much documentation you feed these AIs, if you try to get them to talk very basic electrical engineering to you, you will receive nothing back but a very annoying anthropomorphized attitude of total surety while it spews complete hallucination at you. I tried Gemini and GPT (got word-for-word same answers from both btw) and finally gave up on any engagement with AI over questions of physical circuit boards and chips.
I wonder what else the machines are bad and good at. Like, is there anything technical other than coding and computer command stuff that they can do well? It's the only thing I'm aware of it being good at.
