CES 2026 made one thing obvious, AI is no longer a feature, it's baked into basically every device from TVs to robots. The industry isn't even pretending otherwise anymore, this is the direction whether people like it or not.

The truth is usually more complicated than the headline

At this point if a product doesn't have AI, it feels outdated instantly.
I'm not always right, but I'm never wrong ;)

A lot of this still feels gimmicky, but some of it will stick hard.
Have you tried turning it off and on again?

VB

We're past the hype phase, now it's just rollout.

That is one way of looking at it. Good stuff. :)

Same here. Cheers for sharing.

Most people use AI as a search engine replacement and miss what it is actually good at.

Yes, and I would add that it is even more true if your hardware is older. Give it a go and report back.

The gap between what people claim about AI and what it actually does in practice is still wide. :)

Couldn't agree more. Appreciate it.

Feels like the right read on it. I try to find two or three different sources before forming a proper view on something like this.

Interesting to see where it goes.
ISA maxed. Costs minimised.

I thought that too until I actually tried it. Worth trying before anything more drastic.

VB

Pretty decent summary of it. Can't really go wrong with it.

I trust recommendations from people who have actually used it over a month, not first impressions. :P

That is worth it, agreed. Not a life changer but it adds up.

AI for writing assistance is genuinely useful. AI for replacing thinking is not.
git commit -m "fixed everything"

RustyHawk

That is interesting, I had read something that seemed to contradict it. It is one of those topics where you realise the introductory explanation leaves out all the nuance.

I will dig into that further.

Quanta

Cannot really argue with that. Task Manager tells you most of what you need to know if you know which columns to look at.

Post back with what you find and we can go from there.

JustMartin

The terms and conditions usually tell a different story. Cheers for sharing that.
Lurker since the beginning

Matticus

No real argument from me on that. Experience in big games counts for a huge amount and younger squads often find that out the hard way.

We will know soon enough.

Beth3.0

That is the sensible route. Should be fine if you take your time.

For some reason that framing works well. There is a kind of restraint in the best of this that is harder to achieve than it looks.

Really good thread this.

The free tier is usually enough unless you have a very specific workflow.

BretHart

For some reason that framing works well. Sometimes the value is in the details people nearly leave out.

Really good thread this.

QuantumKnight

Agree, and the implications are bigger than most people realise. There is usually a quieter more important story sitting just behind the obvious headline.

That is my read on it anyway.

Highland Fatima

Turned out alright in the end doing it that way. Once you do something once yourself you always know you can do it again.

Let us know how it turns out.
Measure twice, post once

SGHolly

Not gonna lie, I had not thought of it that way. Worth reading more about this. :)

Interesting, I had the opposite experience. Appreciate the discussion.

HeartbreakKidOscar97

That is the practical answer rather than the theoretical one. The amount of time people spend on complicated fixes when the answer is usually a startup item is remarkable.

Post back with what you find and we can go from there.

Red Builder

The initial reporting on this was all over the place. The speed of the news cycle means most things get forgotten before they are properly resolved.

That is my read on it anyway.

AI for writing assistance is genuinely useful. AI for replacing thinking is not.

VoidSentinel

Not sure I am fully with you on that one. That makes sense actually.

Cheers.

Somewhere between inspired and overwhelmed
