  I imagine AI would be helpful in research and business. In research people generally struggle with the creative issues most, those critical decisions at the edge of their work. This decision making is a tiny fraction of the work at hand, but is mentally and emotionally stressful sometimes demanding of deep focus and periods of concentration. That sort of creative thinking is stressful because it is often an exercise in planning or problem solving that deals with the relationships of many moving pieces simultaneously and results in qualifying or validating activities that demand large amounts of time or resources. I often wish I were better at writing software so that I could write automation routines to more quickly validate my decision making, and so I typically end up writing validation routines instead of solving for the core problem. It would be nice if there were an AI available that help limit that distraction.

    It's helpful to have an AI that gives you analysis but ultimately leaves the decision to you, the human. But some of the AI fanboys go beyond that, wishing for an AI that can make these decisions for us.
