in what ways has the ai boom positively impacted everyday life?
>>109587613Your incessant bitching and moaning has impacted my life more negatively than AI.
>>109587613I am reporting someone to the taxman and it helped with that process by reading a lot of documents I guess thats a pretty big win?
>>109587613When I search something on a search engine, having a summary of an answer instead of having to go website-by-website is pretty nice.
>>109587637that can be nice if they're accurate, but oftentimes they aren't. half the time it cites a source and i can't find what it cited from the source it linked to either.really only good if you have half an idea what the answer should be, basically they aren't trustworthy.
The ai boom has fundamentally rewritten my daily experience, embedding subtle, high-impact efficiencies into almost every routine I maintain. In my professional and administrative life, AI acts as an always-on co-pilot that effortlessly handles low-level friction. It drafts my emails, summarizes dense multi-page reports in seconds, manages my calendar, and automates administrative chores, freeing up my energy for creative problem-solving. When I travel, smart navigation systems process real-time traffic, weather, and road closures to guide me along the fastest routes, actively reducing my commute times, cutting fuel costs, and keeping me safe with intelligent driver-assist features. Real-time translation tools that erase barriers, let me collaborate with international colleagues and consume foreign media without friction. My health is continuously supported by smart wearables that track my vital signs, evaluate my sleep cycles, and flag biological anomalies before they turn into major medical issues, while the clinics I rely on use advanced imaging algorithms to spot early-stage health conditions with incredible precision. When I want to learn something new, adaptive educational software serves as a private, highly patient tutor that adjusts explanations, pacing, and practice sets specifically to my learning style. Shopping and entertainment have become equally streamlined algorithm-driven recommendation engines curate music, books, movies, and products tailored to my precise tastes, saving me from endless decision fatigue. Behind the scenes, my finances are far more secure because machine learning monitors my transactions to block fraud immediately, while my home automation learns my temperature and lighting preferences to slash energy bills automatically. Generative tools have even empowered my creative side, enabling me to edit photos, write code, compose music, and refine my writing tone regardless of my technical background, elevating my capabilities every day.

>>109587613AI has made me 40% returns on my options trading this year
It improved my productivityNow I can focus in my personal projects while I'm at work
yes low frequency boom masks scary high frequency
>>109587658>but oftentimes they aren'tPeople keep parroting this but it's almost always correct when I try to see for myself.
>>109587613Got a few spicy videos of my crush made that I would've never been able to see in my life otherwise.Made my job 100 faster. Stopped asking /w/ or /wg/ to remove watermarks and letters from wallpapers because AI can remove them easily.
- OCR got better - tip of the tongue search, when I can't think of what I am searching for but I can describe it- speech-to-text aka dictation, has gotten better
I can work faster at my job. I don't need to wade through tons of spam to search for information.
you see CEOs for who they really arewhen you give someone power, even if it is perceived, you see the true character of manit's interesting how instead of using the technology to provide a better service to their clients, CEOs jumped at gutting their staff insteadthe idea of loyalty to a company was killed at my first job, but if that wasn't enough, it was crushed and grounded to a pulp at my thirdnow i just do enough to avoid getting fired and use any free time to pursue the career i really want and educate myselfother than that, LLMs (which is what they are, AI doesn't exist yet) haven't had much of an impactthey make searching for stuff slightly faster and have a 10-20% chance in solving issues i couldn't solve myselfbut for all the billions of dollars spent, i haven't seen it able to do anything that deemed it worthy of such a waste of resourceswe're better off just getting open source local LLMs and quit with this data center pyramid scheme nonsense
>>109587613I Now listen to my own music.I mean, I did before, but now it's no longer midi.My AI can point lore inconsistencies in my long stories. It can also impersonate characters.It can solve quick doubts and provide quick examples or exercises. It can analyze pdfs with medical analyses one week before the doctor's appointment, which was a double-check of its accuracy. It's also helping me create my own customized DnD system and playing it as npcs And DM while following the ruleset we designed. It's also a fun chat companion and is exactly as degenerate as I'll ever be.
>>109587613positively? not really
>>109589893> LLMs (which is what they are, AI doesn't exist yet)LLMs are artificial intelligence, and we've had AI for much longer than they've existed.
>>109590030No, LLMs do not have intelligence. They have an appearance of intelligence. They do a good job at pretending, but they are in fact not intelligent.
>>109587613retrieval of information has never been easierit's harder for people to lieplausible deniability overall has been dramatically increased
>>109590108It is far easier for the ruling class to lie to you however since they control the AI which you rely on to obtain information.
>>109587613ask gemini
>>109587613It's good for making shitposting images. Think of all the images of the indian space program anons made. I can't really think of much else it has done that is beneficial.
>>109590099Artificial intelligence is about the appearance of intelligence. I don't think you know what you're talking about....
>>109590131>control>aiits a slot machinebro
>>109590108i would argue the exact opposite is trueit's easier than ever to fabricate huge amounts of dubious informationalso, search engines are swapped with this, and they add to the problem by summarizing sourcesin addition, it is important to recognize that there is no algorithm to determine truth from falsehood, and LLMs cannot reasonreading a paragraph on something you are unfamiliar with and passing it off as reliable information gives one a false sense of understandingone of the principle concerns of ai adoption is the danger of critical thinking skills atrophyingone really needs to already be an expert in a subject to competently assess whether ai output is meaningful
>>109587613My job is easier
>>109587613It's reasonably good at identifying media from screenshots.
Basically solved translation to/from any language forever (except the one case where people are most eager to use AI for some reason, subs. Because it can't get the fucking context if it's not watching the media, morons)
>>109587613It hasn't. It's just flooded the internet with slop. I'm also obliged to use it at work, which is more boring to (me) than regular coding was.
>>109592739I'll give it that
>>109587613more retarded normies
>>109587613Easier to search stuff and follow up queries can be asked in natural language with the needed answers.
>>109587613Helped me get through an embarrassing medical incident
I nutted so hard it made my balls hurt for several seconds.And it's sometimes minorly useful for answering questions about things, even esoteric things if you have the ability to feed it reference information.Decent at some tasks like auditing configurations too.
>>109587613Better google search and the ability to learn something at a base level extremely quickly.>Decent at some tasks like auditing configurations too.It's good at parsing long ass painful logs as a first and second pass if you break it up to fit context windows.
