A challenge these A.I. tools have is that we’re coming down from the novelty high we had at the launch of ChatGPT a year and a half ago and now they need to deliver on actual use cases that make people’s lives better.

Justin Searls writes: I’ve been pairing with ChatGPT (using GPT-4) every day for the last few months and it is demonstrably terrible 80% of the time, but 20% of the time it saves me an hour of headaches, so I put up with it anyway.

Written words if that’s your jam, like me. There are all the signs of a first generation product. However, I must admit that the industrial design is appealing for a gadget.
