We are starting to use it to try and have it automate some rudimentary daily tasks that will actually free up the man power to do more important/productive work. IMO, that is how it should be used.
 
Yeah, learning AI is important, but it depends on your field. If you're in a trade or skill AI can't easily replace, like plumbing, electrical work, nursing, welding, or high-level creative direction, you're always going to be in demand. But if you're in areas where AI is already creeping in, like coding, graphic design, customer support, marketing, or data entry, then the key isn't competing with it, it's making yourself valuable around it. AI is decent, but it still needs human direction, context, and subject-matter know-how. It's yet to be seen if that may or may not always be the case moving forward but it is right now.
 
It's a chatty search engine that can do your homework.

Anyone in the investment class is pumping it up as much as possible for obvious reasons. Learning to use AI isn't some big ask, since the whole point is that it's easy as shit and cuts corners for you. This guy is absurd. No one is "fucked" since it's brainless to use it.

Most people where I work (biggest company in our field) don't really take advantage of AI, I do, and thats honestly why I still have a job. Just the other day during our daily defect and downtime meeting one of the managers was angry how he now had to write down everything from the whiteboard (we still use dry erase markers) onto his computer. I told him and everyone else there that you can just take a picture and have it converted into text or whatever format you wanted. The whole room froze, and I'm the guy who makes less money compared to all of them at these meetings. They can be taking advantage of it too. Honestly I think It's a mix of laziness combined with lack of computer knowledge, and that's why they have me do alot of their dirty work, its annoying on one hand and job security in the other.
