I’m interested in the AI phenomenon. How much is real, how much is puffery? What can we expect out of this tech in a year, 5 years, 10 years? Is it a gadget good for fake writing college essays or is it far more?
Does anyone have any experience or insight they’d share?

Like I run a platform where new members go into an intro chat and was able to turn a thousand pages of rambling into a database of names, companies, industries, etc. Took less than a minute.
But how can you trust the output to be accurate?
In the pricing example I checked the output to confirm but it would have taken half a day to figure it out.
But I do trust AI to “write a bio of Harper Lee using Wikipedia and her official biography as sources, in a friendly, informal tone.”

Unfortunately its ability to write bland average text makes it excel at college student essays, but beyond that?
I don't see it going away. I see it autogenerating a lot of text for organizations in the future. But I don't see it getting better.
That was the first "hey this might be useful" moment for my life with the AI tech.
The expectation is that in the long run, it's about efficiency more than replacement. We all will need to learn prompt engineering or be left behind.
I've tested it out to build templates, draft briefs and other tools at work to some success.
It's easy for us to go into ChaptGPT and ask basic questions, but once we want to start getting deeper and accomplish more complex tasks, we'll need to understand how to ask.
Engineering to be multi-persona oriented (eg. Quality control agents checking the answers of other agents in a casting function).
Blew my mind when I first saw it in action.
“Prompt Engineering Quality Control Agent” sounds like one.
I wonder if it might actually swing the pendulum back against specialization for a guy like me. I’ll explain.
My specialty is work comp law. 20+ yrs. Not bragging just facts, few lawyers in GA know it better than me. But.
But. If I could use an AI agent to bring me quick up to speed on the basics of will drafting & point me in the right direction
The will drafting is a very basic application but one could imagine similar with more complex or obscure areas of the law.
I’ve never used it for those purposes as I don’t wanna cheat, but yeah, it’s a big deal.
Found it! And had to do like a hundred to make it a commonly used Emoji. Sorry.
There’s already a lack of development of young attorneys in my field, for different reasons. We don’t try many cases now. Not sure many lawyers under 40 have a clue how to try a case.
Go Gators!
My work is in the civil area, even more specific, workers' comp primarily.
Including a video of a recent presentation he gave at Columbia.
Some of it is unintelligible to mortals, but the message is clear.
Also he’s not an ass like other AI sacred cows.

But what do we as humans normally do with something like that?
You guessed it...amazing creativity and horrible atrocities.

Basically, software development is highly structured writing and LLM's can't really handle it. Extrapolate to less structured writing and I think you get the same ultimate result.
In 10 years though...
Well out of my depth here though!
It's a cool niche thing, but I don't see it being ubiquitous at least not anytime soon.
