There are a handful of use cases I've seen generative AI be useful

• Searching
• Partner programming (how do I...)
• Chatbot (as a novelty thought, gets boring quick, and the only great ways of controlling it in a way that would be safe for business is by adding more ai)

And a few more probably.

I spent about 6 months deep diving into how it all worked. I was having dread that it would take my job and was determined to learn about it. What I learned is that there are many many serious pitfalls that seem to be more or less ignored or unknown by businesses and people covering it.

I won't say it's as bad as blockchain, there are usages for it, but the hype is pretty damn close. Business thinking it will save them billions and they can start getting rid of developers. Tech bros lining up to say it's going to bring on the singularity.

Eh. It's cool. I wouldn't say it's going to bring the second coming of Jesus.
