I think using ai for some stuff isn't that bad, like explaining complex stuff or as an alternative to a search engine, but if people wanna use it they shouldnt use that ultra power intensive stuff that those ai companies offer, but rather one of those locally hosted models on their own machines.
To me that's so cringe because I've tried it out for explaining concepts and when I take that information and try to use it, it is confidently wrong so much of the time.
The one thing it has helped me with is when I'm trying to do some system administration task, where traditional search engine results are old forum entries or out of date documentation, llms can suggest a way to do the task, and then I can follow those breadcrumbs and do real research on how to do what I need to do.
I was trying to think of use cases for it. honestly if you just want a general overview of a topic, the hallucinations dont affect it too much
