I worry that by not embracing AI now, I risk getting left behind in tomorrow's technology. Like the way my dad could never set the timer on the video recorder. :lol:
I used to use one of the worlds 1st internet search engines. You had to communicate with a header prompt in your "email" although email not as we now know it.

Had a great time learning all the in & outs of how to control it & get it to perform specific requests.

And then the www came along with slick interfaces and you no longer needed any technical expertise to communicate with a search engine.

==> Learn the detail now at the risk it will become redundant later?

I'd go for the learning now as who knows where it will lead )

Once it becomes "user friendly" you lose a lot of control unless you know the detail of how it works & can bypass it.

Agreed, the risk of wasted resources is offset by the potential upside, so ideally another +EV tradeoff

In the TPD example it shouldn't even be an option for traders that main racing, being oblivious to market changes is only asking for trouble and borders on irresponsible/unprofessional

For example I quite like this AI use case from Matthew McConaughey in this YT short : https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Hcg6dX5AjgI

Because we kinda indirectly learn about ourselves through the market but this is a much more direct route (you just can't have it use the agreeable sycophant profile or you might end up with a big echochamber, so it has to challenge you)

Akin to a personal secretary that knows your habits and likes/dislikes etc, but obviously goes far beyond that

I dunno, there are things a personal secretary can do far beyond what AI can do! ;)

Very late to the party with all this. Ironically when I signed up initially to ChatGPT it kept saying it would send me a code to my mobile in order to authenticate my login, except it never did any time I tried. Finally been chucking stuff at it in the last month and it's mind blowing how good it is and I have barely touched the surface. I wish we could hit pause and enjoy it slower, stage by stage. Even though it still makes errors it's like passing your driving license and suddenly you're driving an F1 car. Who needs an electrician, a conveyancer or a coder?

That's the first Impression, just manage your expectations when it come to any sort of context, detail, logic or accuracy. It can write a few lines of code from it's knowledge of the manual but don't expect anything coherent if you want to build anything substantial. Get it to teach you to code rather than wrestling with it for weeks to do relatively simple jobs.

And always question it, some electric 'advice' it's given me was just plain dangerous. It just says what it's seen people say frequently and there's no 'Thinking' despite the name of the model.

And with the Internet in the state it's in its very much garbage in garbage out.
