Have you used so-called "AI" for actually productive work ? (sh.itjust.works)

With copilot included in Professional-grade Office 365 and some politician claiming that their government should use AI to be more efficient. I am curious on whether some of you did use "AI" to get some productive things done. Or if it's still mostly a toy for you.

I don’t think it can get the information for this with 100% accuracy unless the process is same for all Bose headphones. How did it go?

Why not? I told it the model (Bose 700). It searched the web for information for that model, found an article that described how to do it, and provided me with the key points without having to scroll past tons of ads and noisy language. Of course it sometimes gives me the wrong info (usually because the sources are incorrect), but I'll notice soon enough.

How did this go? It can hallucinate stuff even when you post static data to it, last time I tried.

It went perfectly. Again, there are certainly times when it makes errors / hallucinates, but I can fix those manually. In my example of producing flash cards for my son, we obviously had to proofread the cards but that's much faster than writing all the cards by hand. One out of the 20 flash cards had a nonsensical question/answer so we just removed it.
