I think the problem is you haven’t shifted your mindset to using AI correctly yet.
Edit: More everyday examples from just the last 3 days
- Use carbide bits to drill into rocks. Googling “best bits for drilling rocks” doesn’t bring up anything obvious about carbide but it was the main thing chatGPT suggested.
- gave it dimensions for a barn I’m building and asked it how many gallons of paint I would need of a particular type. I could probably work that out myself but it’s a bunch of lookups (what’s the total sq footage, how many sq ft per gallon, what type of paint stands up to a lot of scuffing etc.)
- coarse threaded inserts for softwood when I asked it for threaded insert recommendations. I would have probably ended up not caring and fine threaded slips right out of pine.
- lookup ingredients in a face cream and list out any harms (with citations) for any of them.
- speeds and feeds for acrylic cutting for my particular CNC. Don’t use a downcut bit because it might cause a fire, something I didn’t consider.
- an explanation of relevant NEMA outlets. Something that’s very hard to figure out if you’re just dropped into it via googling.
