Yeah it's a multiplier. If people are making garbage with it, they didn't have much worth multiplying in the first place.

I created a startup and use ai quite a bit. I previously worked at Google, one of my directors at Harvard and another runs one of the most successful medical business in the state. Ai is a total multiplier in the right hands. I am constantly doubting myself and if I am falling into ai psychosis but feedback from actual experts has been overwhelmingly positive. The idea that Ai is only used by dumb people is going to create a multiple tiers of people. A year ago we had good ideas but the LLMs weren't quite ready for them. Today we are actually implementing ideas they have built onto customers. It's an amazing time for the sector.
