Excellent post as usual. I agree that everyone is talking about AI without being able to demonstrate any practical application. One possible exception may be healthcare. Researchers are feeding computers thousands of images of mammograms for example. They tell it which ones have breast cancer and which ones don’t. The computer then learns to identify breast cancer with pretty reliable accuracy.
I also use it to help me with reading comprehension. If I read a word that I don't understand (very common in old books like Jane Austen books for example) I just highlight the word in edge and press the copilot button and boom I have a pretty decent explanation of the word. It also helps a hell of a lot when even with a definition I don't fully understand a sentence. I just plug the whole sentence in copilot and boom it explains it to me like I have been sniffing glue since 4th grade and I can understand it.
I do however agree this is not a world changing application for AI. A google search and some thinking could have gotten me to the same place. Also God only knows how on earth you are gonna monetize AI without corrupting it. Is AI going to serve answers that subtly promote McDonalds or what? Is it simply going to be McDonalds ads between my different questions. AI is definitely a bubble in its current form.

Well that's nice to hear. Better than all the nothing I've been hearing elsewhere.

Mindful consumption is the only way to do it at this point. Content bloat is unreal.
It is.
