I was skeptical at first, still am somewhat. However, I've been using OpenAI's app and its new search engine feature I can't see myself going back to traditional search engines.

I use copilot with Claude for software development, I cannot see myself going back to traditional autocomplete.

However, I do not see how else AI will revolutionize anything else especially now that they've hit the limits of what is currently possible with the technology of our time.

a lawyer next door to your right is sitting and saying “I am now using AI for million things I had to do manually, however I do not see how AI will revolutionize anything else now that we’ve ‘hit the limits on what is currently possible’ - feel bad for software devs who will never get any benefits of this cool new tech…”

a college teacher next door to your left is saying… :)

		AI is really bad at law right now. Hallucinated legal citations build legal arguments on a foundation of mud. No lawyer should be using chat gpt or any of the common public models. There might be a fine-tuned legal AI but I haven’t heard of it and I wouldn’t trust it till it has been thoroughly vetted. The college teacher is saying “this is ridiculous, kids can’t think for themselves these days, I’m so sick of grading obviously ai generated slop.” (That’s a quote from a college teacher friend of mine)

It has growing influence in computational chemistry where heuristic approaches can give massive speedups. Mixing AI and theorem proofing together is going to be big.

Increasing use in customer service will be massive annoyance and great business success.

		> Increasing use in customer service will be massive annoyance I suspect that sometimes it will be a massive annoyance and sometimes it will be great. I have been massively annoyed many times by conventional customer service, most of all when having to stay on the phone for a long time waiting for a human operator to answer a simple question. When such questions can be answered by an AI that responds immediately, I will be more than happy. And I will probably use customer service more; currently, I often hesitate to make phone calls to customer service because I don’t know how long the conversations will take. Of course, there will also be times when the voice recognition fails or the bot can’t understand the problem. Those cases will indeed be massively annoying.

To quote William Gibson, ‘The future is already here—it’s just not evenly distributed.’ While AI is clearly making a big impact for you in software development, there are still many industries and areas of daily life where its full potential hasn’t been realized yet. For example, how much could it revolutionize how people handle taxes, navigate complex legal processes, or streamline personal and professional tasks? We’re seeing the early waves of change, but there’s so much room for growth in ways that might seem mundane but could make a huge difference for everyday users. Excited to hear your next update!
