Thank you for sharing this, Lee! I think itโs great youโre showing how you donโt use AI, and itโs just as important as showing where you can.
So much about what weโre doing with AI right now is fluid, flexible. One day it perfectly solves the problem, the other day it doesnโt, and thatโs because weโre always changing.
Itโs hard enough to find the right place for AI because everyone is doing such cool stuff but not all of it fits my plan or season of life. Like all the technology before it, this is the discovery zone and it can be quite overwhelming.
Yeah discovery zone I like that! Your article here made me think about the different outcomes we get from using AI.
Thereโs the utility โ I built something I use and it works for me.
But then thereโs the discovery โ I may actually use the thing, but I learned a lot along the way.
And then the next time you build something, that knowledge and experience will be there.
Maybe thereโs also the pay it forward โ when someone else wants to build a similar thing, you can share your experience. So even if you arenโt using it, it may be the thing that works for them.
Another thought Iโm having โ engineers spent years studying how to build, testing different scenarios, building things theyโd throw away.
Weโre all giving ourselves a crash course but weโre expecting everything we make to be exactly what we need it to be, and I donโt think it has to be that way.
Thatโs all to say, it makes complete sense why it feels overwhelming, and I appreciate that you are sharing it with us so we can all learn alongside each other on this!

AI thinks AI found my next article subject to continue to build on this
Very important points, Lee. AI isnโt always the answer to every problem, and neither is building everything from scratch ourselves.
