My father just changed his car key battery with the help of ai and he likes that. He also consulted it about about car insurance regulations and he got more out of it than searching the web himself.
For most simple mainstream questions I just ask ai instead of googling shitty results.
Most of the time ai is good enough and often better than the status ante.
People do not care if it is a stupid token prediction machine as long as the job gets done.
Until you take a baby to the vaccine clinic, the nurse googles which vaccine to give at his age, and blindly trusts the highlighted AI snippet at the top.
Not a fictitious example.
I saw a doctor use AI to do some maths recently. I checked it and it was right, but trusting LLMs to do statistics is not a good idea.
