Legal, tech, and even medical questions and answers can be done with Chatbots to gather the data and processed before someone reviews and approve prescriptions, tech work, or approving loans etc.

ChatGPT also makes excellent online tutors, lecturers, and presenters if there's a seminar, online course, or selling a product it can act more lifelike than watching a video.

AI can also solve real life problems like directing traffic at an intersection better than dumb pop-up signs.

I'm working with businesses that are looking into how to utilize AI to generate new leads and services.
"AI" is simply another term for automation, and this has been taking jobs for 50 years.

For example in engineering. "Back in the day" it took a large team of engineers to develop a product, since much of our work required manual labor - drafting by hand, analysis by hand calculation.

The has been reduced by a factor of 4 at least, as almost all of that work is done with CAE tools, from 3D modeling through computer aided analysis. Physical testing is still required for complex systems like automobiles, but the need for that is also slowly going away.

We are calling it "AI" now, but it is the same technology we have been working on since the 70's, the only difference is the expansion of the knowledge base, the sophistication of the decision logic, and the subsequent application into new arenas.

I have a fairly minor legal case going on.

I've been really dissatisfied with the attorney working on the case. While ChatGPT does not give legal advice, I got a much better answer from ChatGPT in a general sense.

It would have taken this guy's lunch money if given a chance.

Google Home Assistant can't even divide by fractions. I think there's a ways to go...

None of that is AI.

Did I say it was? I was responding to a statement that in the future fast food order taking won't need people. My point was that already exists. And I did mention AI and Wendy's in the same comment, you omitted that.

Anyone here actually used ChatGPT?

I have, and it is pretty pathetic.

The way it is advertised with dazzling displays related to VERY specific applications where they have plenty of time to make it all look marvelous is misleading.

Try using it for something applicable to a real world problem and you get responses which are no better, and generally worse, than a simple google search.

Pffft. Call me in a few years and let's see how it is going. I'll wait.

This is one area I wholeheartedly support AI replacing people. Guarantee AI would not screw up my order as often as the minimum wage employees do.

Technology can never take jobs away from people, as the jobs don't belong to people in the first place.

I remember many decades ago in India local governments banned personal computers with word processing systems in favor of traditional typewriters: they didn't want technology to eliminate jobs. Quite bone-headed.

I celebrate technology's role in eliminating the mundane in favor of higher value-added activities. That's how productivity is increased, and as we all know, labor receives the bulk of return to productivity improvements with capital receiving the minority.

It would be helpful to the discussion if you were to post at least some summary of hyperlinks rather than just naked hyperlinks.
