There's definitely a solid window of things that AI is great at, and where it can save you tons of time.

On the other hand, it can also be enormously frustrating when it hallucinates, and asserts very confidently that something is true, when it's absolutely not. Just recently I was looking for a feature in carrd.com, AI says it's there for sure, I'm looking for it for a long time. Then when I email support, it turns out that no, it's absolutely not possible. If AI would at least express some uncertainty! But no, it's always certain.

Overall, for my personal use cases, there's a ton of things that I've tried (coding tools using languages that I've never touched before) and been successful at, with the help of AI. And these are things that I wouldn't have even tried without AI.

But yeah...a mixed bag.
