Are you using AI?

Alanta Lee

Hi everyone,

This is the first time i've ventured out of my 'Research Opportunities' area so, hello Wave

I'm curious to hear how people in the element14 community are using AI tools in everyday life, whether that’s at work, at home, while learning, or just experimenting.

A few prompts to get things going:

  • What do you mainly use AI for?
  • Has AI changed how you work or solve problems?
  • What do you find most useful about AI?
  • What still feels frustrating, risky, or unclear?
  • Are there any AI tools or use cases you think are especially useful?

Feel free to answer one question or all of them!

Thanks!

  • Kinda have AI shoved down my throat when doing Google searches, I guess the cost for free services is training the AI. 

    I do like the AI summary as I search for specific things I cant fully remember, python methods and libraries, etc.

    I do not trust any AI to give a fully correct answer, especially if I ask vague questions.

    The different AIs are better at some things than others, just like people.  Flynn, there is no MCP ....yet, but its coming.

    It sounds like AI is becoming hard to avoid in search now, even for people who aren’t deliberately choosing to use it.

    The Python example is interesting too, AI summaries seem useful when you’re trying to remember a method, library or concept, but not as something you’d trust blindly. That “useful for direction, but needs checking” theme is coming through a lot.

    When you do use AI summaries in search, what makes you decide whether the answer is good enough to follow up on?
