Artifical Intelligence and it's impacts.

[Mad as Fish]

The picture is mixed. The problem is the AI tools being forced down our throats by being integrated into Windows, Whatsapp, etc. I prefer to just access it via a browser, where I have found it pretty good at things like trip planning, and marking exam questions (kids use this a lot).

Work: From a management point of view I can see benefits. We use Copilot in work and since GPT-5 its become a lot more useful for generating reports, summaries, making sense of long email threads, etc. For technical work, we see no benefit, you can take as long to review the generated code as to write it. If you use a vendor-specific language, as we do, there is no AI tool support as the IP is locked down.
I find very useful for research, but only trust it in my own domain, and the output needs to be carefully reviewed. But its better to edit copy than start from a blank page.

Home: Win11 and Outlook 365, on a laptop, are now so cluttered in terms of UX that I dearly wish I could move back to Win10. Then Copilot takes up more screen real estate....I am seriously thinking of getting a Mac.

AI doesnt need to be forced into every system and tool we use.

Total bollux from you as always, parroting some crap picked up from a tame establishment site.

You spend far too much time on here to have a proper job!

All I wrote is 100% true. Which only underlines how limited your intellect and experience actually is.
And thats really hit me for the first time: you're kinda clueless.

Yea, I don't know too many 'teachers' who sit up 24/7 monitoring and posting shite on small websites like this.
Indeed, the very thought that people like that can have access to children is extremely frightening.
I call bullshit.

Everyone less of the petty backbiting or just go somewhere else.

With regards to the post made by Haven concerning AI it strikes me as exactly the middle of the road sort of guff turned out by AI itself. It's just too neat, and is also quite characterless, for Haven itself to have produced given his past offerings on here.

It is difficult to express sufficient contempt for the fellow at times.

It's a genuine effort to contribute I'd like to think.

Indeed it is.

I dont see a compelling killer use case for AI yet. Its great at creating content, or analysing text. Despite Copilot integration into Windows, its still surprising poor with Excel and PowerPoint. The first demo I saw for Copilot was actually on PowerPoint, where the user was able to quickly clean up a pres where it would take a huge about of time to align everything manually. It seemed to show how huge amounts of time could be saved, but this ability didnt seem to actually ship.

In my line of business, its clear policy and clinical guidance is not keeping pace.

For example a lot of vendors are selling "Ambient Listening" solutions, and theres real potential to generate orders and clinical notes on the fly during a consultation rather than a doctor manually document in the EMR. But are patients going to consent to this, or even appreciate the privacy concerns?
