Chat GPT & Generative AI tools

[Kai]

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?

Same here, but time seems to speed up as we get older, so seems a no-brainer to use any tool that can greatly accelerate our learning and help us keep up with the mad pace of the world today.

Gone are the days of posting relatively basic queries on forums and waiting in hope that someone eventually provides an adequate reply.

But the vid I posted earlier about the "attempted murder" highlights exactly which issues we need to solve before we give it more power.

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.

How do you guys use AI? Voice, text? Phone, PC, other device? Which AI system do you use? What do you actually use it for?

I had solar installed recently, and the inverter came with an API. So I can control the inveter and tell it what to do and when.

I used AI to write code to look up the weather forecast by hour and change the behaviour of the inverter to maximise my ability to harvest solar, or store power at optimal moments.

Today I had the smart meter upgraded. As soon as the guy left, it was clear something was wrong, either that or the sun had gone super nova.

Took a picture of the wiring, of the data from the inverter and asked AI what was wrong.

A few seconds later, it had identified the problem, and five minutes later, the sun calmed down to a normal state. Or I fixed it, one of the two.
