I use AI dozens if not hundreds of times a day as part of my job... It certainly "solves" a lot of stuff for me :)

I know for a fact that it is putting marketing copywriters out of jobs.
I used ChatGPT 3 times yesterday to generate code snippets that I could have figured out myself but took a couple of prompts using ChatGPT.
I've used ChatGPT dozens of times in my D&D campaign for things like "generate a bunch of random dwarves with names and occupations, don't use Tolkien names"
People who say it "can not solve anything" are delusional.

What? So many people are using AI to solve real problems right now.
GitHub Copilot is a good example. It may just be a glorified autocomplete, but it's really good and sometimes predicts 20 line functions exactly as I'd have written them.
Really good stochastic parrots are useful.
Maybe some time in the future but the current generative "AI" can not (let me repeat: can not) solve anything. I am sitting here astonished watching the entire world lose their minds over a stochastic parrot.
Did y'all not learn anything from the crypto bubble? Mostly it's the same hustlers, ChatGPT got rushed to the market the moment the crypto craze sort of ended with the collapse of FTX. Someone is making a lot of money here... but it ain't you.
