    What are the practical uses of AI for ordinary customers for us to be excited about?

      What you already see: conversation bots, art generation and manipulation…

      But I think most of that power will go towards language models, and in a few years it will be standard to talk to computers using natural language. However, the other functionality will be included in this, like the computer being able to illustrate what you tell it, teach you things, create works of art (songs, pictures, videos) for you, … But for a start it will be mainly talk.

      At work GitHub co-pilot usually makes decent suggestions for boilerplate code like if I need a new endpoint for our API, or retrieve an object from the repository, or just to fill out the constructor on a new class or object instantiation of an existing class. It’s not always perfect so you have to have the experience to spot the issues but it gets you close real fast.

      The most impressive honestly was I had made retrieval logic in one format but it turns out I needed a different format so I comment that whole code block and got ready to redo it and co-pilot suggested the same thing in the new format so I just had to hit tab and delete the commented code after.

      Then there’s chatGPT for bouncing ideas off of like if I should use a factory, also our front end framework is both unpopular and poorly documented so if I have a question there wasn’t really a place to turn somehow chatGPT does a decent job of clearing things up, I simply wouldn’t find that many people talking about it on stack overflow.

      At home I’ve been having fun prompting images on Dalle-3. Considering making the plunge to comfyUI and a local stable diffusion.
