@Uva_Be I have experimented with most tools to get an idea of their workings. Both to test usefulness and reliability. For generating templates and structuring content I have seen benefits. And I’m very impressed by the programming capabilities of some language models.

Before these popular current tools I was of course also using AI, for example for speech-to-text and vice versa, which is useful and benevolent in the right settings.

In the end there is always this question that remains… are these benefits (for a subset of wealthy people) worth the cost? To judge that we need to understand the costs, and they are unfortunately often kept hidden or obscure.

Becoming reliant on many of these tools also means I become dependent on someone else to select and filter what content is deemed valuable for modelling, which is another aspect that worries me.
