Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

For the most part AI is the best OCR ever designed. And if used for that it really is great. Most AI agents you see our there are mostly just used for that: ocr.

It's also nice-ish to start writing simple programs, if you know how it works it sets you more or less in the right path in a few prompts. That head start can be nice.

It also helps in Excel with charting.

It also is helpful for acquiring knowledge. AS LONG AS YOU CHECK THE LINKED SOURCES.

If you don't you will crash and burn. Not eventually but quick.

So yes, AI does have uses and Yes, it will cost some people their jobs, especially in knowledge Industries and IT.

But then again, that's a tale as old as time. Stuff changes.

(AI) datacenters will not go away. Desktop processing will vanish. And then, 15 years from now, someone gets a great idea and starts selling Personal AI computers. And this cycle will redo from start.
