If you know what you're doing, AI can be a very useful tool. However, a lot of people have no clue what they're doing and they use AI to amplify their incompetence.

Maybe one day someone can actually prove the mythical usefulness of AI beyond software devs who think they're 19% faster but are actually 10% slower.

Yes. They could definitely fund studies to do so! They have the money! Hmm.

That study was redone and the results were less conclusive the second time around

[-] dandi8@fedia.io 1 points 2 weeks ago

They were less conclusive because they couldn't find participants. Probably because they paid a third of what the previous study did.

I haven't met a single AI user who doesn't claim (s)he uses it in a smart way.
