You would be wrong. I am actually quite perky, I just don't suffer foolish admin tasks easily. I only have meetings with a goal (not just for the sake of it), and then I simply make sure it is clear what the solution is, no matter whos

How do you check accuracy of these? You stated brainstorming as an example that they are great at. As obviously experts are experts for a reason. My issue here is that a lot of this is solved by good practice, for example,travel management

As someone who struggles slightly with maths despite working in physics and engineering, I am always in awe of those who can do math so easily. You do occasionally come across those who can do math with minimal intermediate steps and it is

I would imagine this research is the starting point to prove viability. It isn't about solving issues that haven't been solved, it is often a good point to find new techniques to improve upon current ones eventually that can then

But do you ever get good enough to make a contribution that's worthwhile? And also is your knowledge flawed because the knowledge of the data used to train the model is flawed? Whilst I do see your point and I do see the value for prot

Do you really believe the outlay in terms of computer power is worth it to change the tone of an email? If it never gets better, this is a vast waste of an enormous amount of resources.

This is a business practice issue and staff issue, not a meeting minutes issue. I have meetings daily, and have never had this issue. You make it clear what is decided during the meeting, give anyone a chance to query or question, then no o

They can be useful, however for admin tasks, there are plenty of valid alternatives that really take no longer time wise so why bother using all that computing power. They don't just work though, they are not fool proof and definitely

Ok take Transcription, they were trying to use free as in cost tools instead of using software that works efficiently that has been effective for decades now.

Do they only have reduced barriers of entry if you aren't fussed about the accuracy of the output? If you care that everything works correctly and is factually correct, do you not need the same competency as just doing the task by hand

There are those who have realised they can make a lot of cash from it and also get funding by using the term AI. But at the end of the day what software doesn't have some machine learning built in. It's nothing new, nor is the cur

The hype surrounding them is not as a pa and tbh a lot of these use cases already have existing methods that work just fine. There are ways to find key information in files already, and speedy meeting minutes is really just a template away.

Transparency is the case, up to a point in research. Many engineering papers I find, have the told you the building blocks of what is required, but they try to avoid stating the secret sauce that binds them together.

One risk of open source development and development in public is that anyone can take part, hence appropriate management of merge is key. Therefore automated services without appropriate strategies to mitigate this are probably not useful.

I would agree but I doubt it will become more of a thing, too many seem to not be willing to accept failure or show vunerability. This will always be rare in the start up market as long as bravado and fake it till you make it is still a thi

There is far too much snobbery at times around packing a program for ready to go. Whilst of course the work increases for the developer, I do think it makes it overall more usable and easy to access for those who perhaps are not so competen

In a development job, the only reason to have nothing on your CV is a lack of effort. You can most certainly create projects that are CV worthy, that you will also benefit from financially.

This was how I relearned to program in C++ and ported a few apps to the OS. It was a great experience and the OS has come on leaps and bounds. If anything for many it could be a daily driver nowadays.
