These are different social contingents I think. At least for me I was super on board with wikipedia because as you say the use to me was immediate and certain. AI I have tried every few months for the last two years but I still haven't found a strong use for it. It has changed nothing for me personally except making some products I use worse.



AI is only useful for me if I have a good idea of what the answer might already be, or at least what it absolutely can't be.

It helps me get to an answer a little bit quicker, but it doesn't perform any absolutely groundbreaking work for me.


Have you paid for it?


Yes my work pays for several of them. I don't particularly enjoy coding so believe me I have sincerely tried to get this to work.


Cursor has been quite the jaw-dropping game changer for me for greenfield hobby dev.

I don't know how useful it would be for my job, where I do maintenance on a pretty big app, and develop features on this pretty big app. But it could be great, I just don't know because work only allows Copilot. And Copilot is somewhere between annoying and novelty in my opinion.
