What are your thoughts on ever increasing AI influence?

[VB]

Phones are starting to act instead of waiting for input.

[Jan79]

Some people will love that, others will hate losing control.

[IronWolf]

Feels like the beginning of "AI-first" devices.

[JohnyBlue]

That is the sensible route. Good luck with it.

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

[Static Estuary]

Agree completely, preparation is everything. Good luck with it.

[TeaAndCode72]

If I am honest I agree completely. Cannot wait for the game to settle it.

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

[Static Estuary]

Agree completely, preparation is everything. Should be fine if you take your time.

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

[TheGreatMoney]

Completely agree with that. The switching bonuses are usually the best bang for almost zero effort.

Worth doing even if the saving is small.

[ProperMadlad20]

Phones are starting to act instead of waiting for input.

Same here really. Appreciate the discussion.

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

[FairDos72]

That is exactly the lesson I learned. Rushing the drying or setting time is where most jobs go wrong.

Turned out alright when I did it.

[Fan22]

That is the nuanced version of it. Happy to keep discussing this.

The energy cost of AI is a story that is not getting nearly enough attention.

[Plateau65]

Fair enough. Legend.
