I surprise myself: at the international AI conference AAAI in 1982 some of the swag was a bumper sticker “AI It Is For Real” that I put on my car and left it there for years.
With that tedious history out of the way, even though I respect all the good work that has gone into this and also standalone mostly autonomous LLM-based tools, I am starting to feel repulsed by any use of AI that I don’t directly use for research, coding, studying non-tech subjects, etc. I think tools like Gemini deep research and NoteBookLM are superb tools. Tools like Claude Code and Google’s Antigravity are so well done, but I find it hard to get excited about them or use any tool like these tools for more than once or twice a week (and almost always for less than 10 minutes a session.)
