RE: EcoTrain's QOTW - Artificial Intelligence: The End of the Beginning

Your thoughts are very similar to mine. Using the tools instead of letting them use us is a great one. That's what I'm doing. Although I do feel a sense of joy and maybe even pride when I point out to an AI tool that they made a mistake.
Only yesterday, I prompted two of 'mine', and both produced complete nonsense. They even made up stuff. When I pointed it out, one of them actually asked me to tell them more about the subject because they were eager to learn more. So I fed them the correct information and both thanked me for teaching them something new. Now I know that they won't ever make the same mistake again. It's weirdly satisfying to outsmart an AI, when most of the time, they're much 'smarter' than me.

As for your fear of liking it too much. Yeah, if you're anything like me, there's a huge chance that this will happen. I see this in my work. Because I don't really have any set times, sometimes I work a few hours a day, but more often than not, I find myself fascinated by what I'm doing at that moment, and before I know it, my workday turns into a 10-hour one or more.
And once I turn to AI art tools, it's even worse. I can easily start something at 1am, to 'just try a few', and the next time I check my clock, it's 5 am...
So definitely keep that in mind.
For me, there is no 'just try a few'. Once I get going, I don't stop until I drop LOL.

But still, there's a lot of fun to be had. I now try to set a timer, so I know I need to take a break or go to sleep like normal people haha.
It helps.

Anyway, great to see your QOTW response. Hopefully more will follow.
