From my work perspective the only thing I use Ai for is setting up excel formulas I can’t remember or never bothered to learn.
Thats what I think Ai should be used for automating functions so your not spending 20 mins fucking about in a program trying to get it to do the thing you want in your head. Instead I can spend 28 mins fucking about on Reddit.

Explain yourselves to the nice American businessmen. Why aren’t you sufficiently using the plagiarism machine that tells lies?
What if they put ads in it? What if they made it easier for it to drive your elderly parents insane? What if they made it more addictive for children?
They’ve bet the entire economy on this and you don’t give a shit.

A colleague of mine uses it all the time. He uses it mostly to find out standards and regulations. Now the owner of the company is doing it. They don’t question if it’s accurate or not. They swear by it. 🤷🏿

We’re already very skilled at bluffing a load of bollocks that sounds true enough on our own.

For those dependant on AI download ‘le chat’ by French AI company Mistral. Its better to support your neighbours especially when current US policy is destruction of the EU.
Open AI told them to pump those numbers ups. We need more AI slop at the cost of the environment.

I use it for two things 1. Excel. 2. Creating presentation content.
Beyond that I find it meh and have little to no use case for it.

I’ve been trying the free version of it for about a year or so.
Not constant use, maybe once a week I’ll ask it a question or two on something I need technical help with, or if I need a hand wording something.
In my experience it’s a dangerous thing to rely on for reliable information or guidance. It constantly makes shit up.
Unfortunately people will only catch it doing this if they have a bit of prior knowledge about the subject they’re enquiring about.

It’s Ireland, we already have enough overly confident liars in every workplace. Ones that you can take the piss out of and have some banter with, why would we downgrade?

If you’re going to use this shite, use Le Chat so it’s at least an EU company.

I actually wonder is that partly because of the fawning personality it has? I find it really offputting.
It’s very much based on American service industry serfdom speak, and that doesn’t really go over the same here.

Maybe I’d use it more if it would tell me to go away and have a good shite to myself an odd time instead of agreeing with everything I say.

I’d imagine most of Europe is using it more for translation to English/other language/checking grammar in 2nd language etc
Ireland has 2 languages but very little translation needs outside of academia (or IT programming language work), the general population will go their full day using just 1 language a lot more than the rest of the EU

My senior management (based in the US) is really pushing us to use AI. I’ve a team of 10, majority aren’t native English speakers. 70% of their job is drafting reports. Our reports are read by auditors, sometimes even regulators. The quality of the reports went downhill and I can pinpoint which of the analysts use AI a lot, because suddenly they cannot form a coherent sentence without the help of ChatGPT. It’s getting to a point where I’m planning to put one of the analysts on PIP, because I pretty much have to rewrite their reports.
Anyway, this tool was made to dumb people down. It’s easy to rule over stupid people.

I haven’t used it (I’m technically not Irish but Aussie living decades in Ireland). I had a subscription to Sudowrite (which was very useful), but cancelled it when I didn’t use it as much. I bought a lifetime license outright for an AI art site and have a free subscription on another for beta testing for them. Possibly more than one, actually. It’s been a while since I used them.
I’ve been focusing more on regular content creation without AI. Writing my own books and buying professional quality markers and metallic gel pens for my art (out of Christmas money). 😀

One possible reason for a difference btw it’s a lot of people use it for translation or nuancing writing in other languages, but often in Europe that means English.
Generative AI and LLMs aren’t just a blip. They’re here to stay, but I wouldn’t be rushing to introduce them to classrooms, but at the same time they’re going to be used regardless. Hard banning them is completely pointless too. Learning to use them as a tool makes sense, but I’m not really sure how teachers would be equipped to do that, as few of them have the depth of knowledge about AI and it isn’t as simple a topic at people tend to think.
I see too many people who think AI is an oracle. It can be very misleading when it just pattern matches and guesses.

I found that I hit the daily query limit or cap with free chatgpt in a way I don’t with Gemini or copilot. Which was frustrating, so I used it less.
I don’t use any of them for stuff where I can’t check the answer.

Whatever about the reliability of ai now but it’s gonna get worse as people learn how to influence it by knowing how it is trained
