My spouse and I both work on different ends of AI work (spouse, content production, editing, and prompt-library building; me, feeding the things with data).

No, not really. They're useful but not revolutionary for actual productive work, and I'm being generous in dubbing some AI-based products themselves "productive" (I eagerly await the studies that I'm sure the companies building these things will not bother to do, proving that these are cost/benefit better than other approaches they're replacing—I definitely don't consider it certain that they are).

They shine when the fewest shits are given, which is mostly work that didn't need to be done in the first place, and... mass scams/astroturfing/spam. Hooray.

I don't really see this balance tipping much with the general approach the field's pursuing now.
