AI has caused several major negative impacts, like Bank of America erroneously cancelling thousands of cardholders accounts, data breaches, making wrong investment decisions, etc. BofA had to pay millions in fines. AI is just not ready for prime time. It's still a toy and businesses are over relying on it, firing many employees because they're eager to cut costs.
AI to me is just a glorified search tool that gathers relevant info from the web and formats it into pretty answers. It can't be totally relied on for making autonomous decisions if it hallucinates once in a while
I think you're ahead of the game, because you have the fundamentals of programming while utilizing the tool known as AI. That's a killer combo.
I hope
Yeah, at first I thought ChatGPT's answer was wrong, as I got zero results but I knew I had some. Then I realized the SYS tables were tied to a database, not a server (like idiot me, I should have known that right!?) - so sometimes it's a matter of giving it contextAI to me is just a glorified search tool that gathers relevant info from the web and formats it into pretty answers.

I feel so far behind some times that I'm not even coherent enough to organize old, current, new - people are using so many cloud solutions and even good ole' sql server has so many new options (or options that aren't really new, but new to me), I feel sometimes like a strong imposter syndrome. Then I talk to my son, who feels the same way despite a MS in robotics engineering but because they only 'scratched the surface' of many things he feels the same feeling - it's a real problem in IT, some of these job descriptions are outlandish in scope and you wonder "Are they really going to find a person who knows all those things in detail?"
Sounds to me like you have a great foundation but your confidence has been shaken a bit. Build on what you have and try and stay positive.
At some point, one of you has to assume the role of "adult in the room". If you defer to AI to fill that role, yeah, you lose.AI to me is just a glorified search tool that gathers relevant info from the web and formats it into pretty answers.

Isn't the whole idea that children will learn so they don't commit the same mistakes again?
True. And the reason we put teachers in charge of classes in school is that SOMEONE has to be the adult in the teaching/learning process.
So for AI, that learning process is either too slow, or they're stubborn because they're committing the same mistakes. Remember that AI is a machine based wizard programmed by humans. If it encounters a slightly different set of circumstances, it's not going to leverage what it previously learned. I suspect some AI engines are deep fakes piloted by monkeys riding on greyhound dogs
that's probably true, as there are imposters in every game. I just stick with the first thing that worked for me - chatGPT. I highly value its memory that transcends individual chats and I tend to keep doing what works, learning new things very slowly - meaning learning one new thing well, but not learning many new things
Good for you, i've also been tinkering with GPT. It did a really good job of generating that normalized db schema from @DakotaRidge's dashboard.. BTW, whatever happened to IoT (The Internet of Things)? Wasn't that supposed to really take off before AI?.. I really dont see many IoT devices other than smart bulbs and A/C thermostats. Microsoft even created an embedded Windows IoT OS and it's nowhere to be found. I thought IoT was supposed to be part of the big AI scheme? Devices talking to each other and controlled by AI.
That was about all I thought chatGPT was at first - and maybe indeed it was lesser in its early iterations when it was first released.
AI was built to work for us. Now it’s working instead of us. Every day many workers are packing their desks into cardboard boxes, not because they weren't prodcutive, or broke a rule. They were laid off because AI can do the same job faster and cheaper. People are not just getting laid off, they’re being told they're replaceable. Perhaps I should build a robot and have him get an AI job somewhere. If he can't find work, I'll tell him to go rob a bank and bring back the money.
Who told this? And why do you think Ai was built to work for us, not replacing us?
