    The only useful thing ive found for AI is its ability to read text from an image. Which is good for taking serial numbers from a photo, and copying from an app that otherwise doesnt allow copying on phone. Thats it. A tool.

      that function is just reskinned OCR, though

      which I guess you could consider as AI and that it is a similar training data structure? not my area lol

      I do also think that AI has some use as a search engine. I haven’t used it much for this purpose at all, but a while back there was a specific type of engineering analysis I needed to do, and I couldn’t remember the exact terms or topics to look up. chat GPT got me into the right area so I could look at the appropriate resources. in that specific scenario, it was better than a standard search engine

      Of course once I found the materials I was looking for, I stopped using the chat bot and you know use those materials
