> AI has been remarkably useful for many many things across many industries
This is really a statement of faith more than a statement of fact. I think you and many others believe this to be true without much concrete evidence. For work, I help companies adopt AI driven solutions. Sometimes it makes things a little better, sometimes it makes things worse. I've yet to see a project use LLMs in the transformative way that many AI optimists put forward. Don't get me wrong, I find tools like Claude and ChatGPT to be fascinating and useful for looking up all kinds of information. I can't really say if we're just scratching the surface or if we've dug ourselves into rut with the present state of LLMs. The firsthand evidence I've seen and verified points more to the latter, but things are changing fast in this area. I'm excited to see what's around the corner.
