I use AI all the time in my work. With one of my tools I can type in a script and have a fully-acted, fully-voiced virtual instructor added to the training we create. Saves us massively in both time and money and increases engagement.

This is how AI will truly sweep through the market. Small improvements, incrementally developed upon, just like every other technology. White collar workers will be impacted first, with blue collar workers second, as the technology continues to develop.

My friend is an AI researcher as part of his overarching role as an analyst for a massive insurance company, and they're developing their own internal LLM. The things AI can do will be absolutely market-shattering over time.

Anyone suggesting AI is just a fad/blip is about as naive as someone saying that about the internet in 1994, in my view.
