We all know what AI is doing to the workforce but that’s no mystery. Has AI actually served you well, or is it all overhyped slop?

It broke me out of a broken mindset at least, since no human would actually talk to me in a wise way, this therapy-pilled bot did that job instead.
It really is a good search engine, provided you check sources. It's a good way to get around the enshitified google searches.
Good for bouncing ideas off, and low-effort stories where you play whatever role your friends would not put up with. In other words, a fun game.
However, it's been taking more time than it's been saving whenever I tried to get it to do more. Agentic frameworks rarely work beyond "add this bit of text to my notes while I work", so you don't have to search up and find certain documents. Or "tell me what my document says about so and so topic". If you expect it to code for you, or manage your files properly, or not delete it's own components, forget it. More effort than it's worth.
I actually shut down my VM, as I currently have no use for it whatsoever, and I don't like using non-local AI models, for several reasons, I will only use them when necessary.
