I use AI constantly. Let me make this brief, I could spent the rest of my life sharing the problems I have had.
I’m just going to break it down into the major ones.
- Unreliability. I can’t trust AI on anything it says. If you don’t know something, then always check for a source and read that source. Do not trust that it knows what it is saying no matter how confident it speaks.
- It will have random UI quirks and issues. This is a MS product not a Rolls Royce jet engine. Quality is not #1.
- You need to have at least 3 AI’s available. While one is working you can’t do another query. It is not unusual for me to have 3 AI’s working. Two copilot and 1 ChatGPT.
- Why am I using ChatGPT so much? My client wants to do cutting edge things that may not be possible/unsupported. I have to have all the facts including Google search and other proof before I suggest a POC.
- If AI is so bad why do you use it? As a consultant I can’t avoid it. I used to wear out Google, and now I wear out AI. You don’t use less tools as an knowledge worker, you just learn what tool is best for what job.
