AI bubble seems close to collapsing. God knows how many billions have been invested and we still don't have an actual use case for AI which is good for humanity.

It is helping me do that projects that would otherwise take me hours in just a few minutes, soooo, shrug.

What kind of projects are those? I am genuinely curious. I was excited by AI, Claude specifically, since I am an avid procrastinator and would love to finish tens of projects I have in mind. Most of those projects are games with specifical constraints. I got disenchanted pretty quickly when started actually using AI to help with different parts of the game programming. Majority of problems I had are related to poor understanding of generated code. I mean yes, I read the code, fixed minor issues, but it always feels like I don’t really internalised the parts of the game which slows me down quite significantly in a long run, when I need to plan major changes. Probably a skill issue, but for now the only thing AI is helpful for me is populating Jira descriptions for my “big picture refactoring” work. That’s basically it.

I was able to use llama.cpp and whisper.cpp to help me build a transcription site for my favorite podcast[0]. I'm a total python noob and hadn't really used sqlite before, or really used AI before but using these tools, completely offline, llama.cpp helped me write a bunch of python and sql to get the job done. It was incredibly fun and rewarding and most importantly, it got rid of the dread of not knowing.
