I’m loving today. HN’s front page is filled with some good sources today. No nonsense sensationalism or preaching AI doom, but more realistic experiences.

I’ve completely turned off AI assist on my personal computer and only use AI assist sparingly on my work computer. It is so bad at compound work. AI assist is great at atomic work. The rest should be handled by humans and use AI wisely. It all boils down back to human intelligence. AI is only as smart as the human handling it. That’s the bottom line.

I'm right there with you, and having a similar experience at my day job. We are doing a bit of a "hack week" right now where we allow everyone in the org to experiment in groups with AI tools, especially those that don't regularly use them as part of their work - and we've seen mostly great applications of analytical approaches, guardrails and grounded generation.

It might just be my point of view, but I feel like there's been a sudden paradigm shift back to solid ML from the deluge of chatbot hype nonsense.
