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!

  • AI is my unpaid (I don't have subscription) research assistant and analysis tool.

    A part time job maintaining a network has given me reason to use it. I don't recall exact command line syntax but AI does. Yeah it gets it wrong sometimes but for the most part especially working across multiple operating systems it gets me in the ball park to continue.

    Got log files that require analysis, throw it to chatgpt and it evaluate and provide summary. Here is the output from five network iperf3 files, what do you see? response, the output appears to be limited to 100MB. Oh yeah, now I remembers that bottleneck.

    My years remaining in supporting IT are dwindling. Learning MS365 is not necessary if all you need to do is fix a DNS records. Research assistant, were do I find that change area in the MS admin tools? Yep, right on the mark. 

    What is the difference between tracert & traceroute? A detailed description without  opening a man page. A CLI output that took me years to master but still don't remember that syntax. YES!

    I've also used it to write Arduino code. I am never very good at it manually. I know what I want and if I can explain it correctly AI gives me a baseline to tweak. I will be damned if I can explain the loops but it works. The challenge is to provide the detailed explanation to make it happen.

    It has drafted policy documents. Create a policy for credit card use in non-profit. Done, ten bullet points. I can work with that as a start.
