But even in IT there are many products you can be working with where AI is simply worthless because it's not aware of them, or it's unable to separate information relating to them from information relating to other products. Like, I work with three products that AI simply cannot give helpful answers about. One of them it barely even knows exists, despite it being the biggest product in the field. I'd love it if ChatGPT did have answers on that, but it doesn't (I notice they are modifying how the documentation is available, I think so it will be in future). On the rare occasions I have to come up with a truly novel-to-me Excel query or something it's great! I have colleagues who have products and/or roles where it's useful constantly. Others where it rarely is. It's not generally a reflection on their skill or whether they're "top professionals" lol, it's a reflection on their role.As for chat queries vs. Google searches, given Google forces AI on you, like it or not, that's hardly a viable claim, and it's obviously not the same thing as using generative AI to create code, let alone images or the like.</blockquote>
