    @humptydumpty Let me suggest a great book to read: Co-Intelligence, by Ethan Mollick. I have read 70% of the book and am coming to the same opinion as the author: "invite AI to your work table all the time". Whether its writing an article, marketing study, presentation or report, it can help create the first draft (edit and polish it yourself). It can generate example code (fix, check and correct it yourself). I find AI helps when you are staring at a blank screen wondering where to start. It can generate many ideas, but it is best when you evaluate and refine them.

    I also found the author presented some great examples of using "prompt engineering" and "personas" to get better results. But there are also subtle reminders in the book about training bias, how AI tries to generate answers that "please us humans", and its inherent limitations and why the same prompt will generate inconsistent responses. Like any tool, it needs to be wielded by a trained craftsman. It can help you get work done faster, but it can also help you get to the wrong answer very quickly.
