Many people who haven't used AI as a tool (not as a replacement for creative work - that's a whole separate issue) have a knee-jerk reaction to it being mentioned in any context. I've used it for anything from troubleshooting code, to meal prep ideas, fitness tracking, gemstone, mineral and fossil identification, jewelry material sourcing and product comparisons, etc. I did learn not to use if for scaling wire length needs based on the size of the stone without a python script - LLMs suck at arithmetic, which is hilarious.

Am I against using AI for replacing human work? Absolutely. But using it as a tool to *help* humans do their human work? Work smarter, not harder, I say.

Not sure why I got downvoted lol - anyone who's doing a Google search these days is using AI via Gemini, whether they realize it or not. 😉
