I think I read somewhere that the “intelligence” of AI is doubling every 6 months or so, so akin to the early days of the processor. I really think the potential is there for this to be every bit as transformational as the internet in terms of impact to our everyday lives.

I am not a coder by any means. I know some SQL and VBA and that’s all - and those skills have significantly dwindled since I don’t really use them anymore. Never knew HTML or any other languages. That said, using some of these new AI tools, I was able to build an actual working website in minutes, complete with search tools, mapping functionality, etc. I was pretty amazed at what it was able to crank out so quickly. As you said, even if you use it just to generate a basic framework and then hand code to finish it, it’s still a tremendous time saver. Now, I don’t have the knowledge to know if the code it wrote was junky and inefficient, maybe it is, but that will just get better and better by the day.

Automation is another key area that I see a ton of use cases for. A lot of people are just using Chat GBT as sort of an enhanced google search, but uses go far beyond that. Claude by Anthropic is pretty cool, you can do a youtube search on that and find some pretty amazing things people are doing. All this to say, I’m all in on it and trying to learn as much as I can as an old guy that’s not super technical. I’m investing now, but really should have been 10 yrs ago….
