I rate the value of LLM based AI on how it improves me personally. Positive experiences include being able to more easily. read scientific papers with an AI filling in details for embedded math, and after a vibe coding session when I feel like I understand the problem better because I was engaged with the process and I understand the resulting code.

Negative experiences include times when I am lazy, turn off my brain and just accept LLM output. I am also a little skeptical about automating email handling, etc. that is cool technology but how useful is it, really? I can imagine insiders talking between themselves saying "feel the bubble!" but when talking with reporters they talk like "feel the AGI" or "oh no, our AI tech is so strong it will take over the world" - excellent strategies for pumping stock prices and valuations.
