And this is going to take over everyone's jobs?

AI is a mathematical equation. Like z = 3x + 5y. Just a very very very complex one. It isn't magic.
It's definitely an improvement over a traditional internet search, and at the high end with enough power it can do some really cool things....but I agree, it isn't magic. Just a sophisticated model that generates an output.
Hopefully people aren't stupid enough to start believing it has consciousness or sentient qualities.........
But it is not magic and will not take over the world. You will see clueless Boomers have FOMO and not want to look uninformed so they pop into threads and say things like "my company has adopted AI and we see immense gains... production is up and costs are down!". These people are usually non-technical sales&marketing types who are mostly full of bluster and don't want to be seen as being left behind or OMG "old". So they read a few LinkedIn posts (now full of scammy Indian AI influencers selling you courses), and memorize a few catch words/phrases like "hallucination" or "vibe coding" or "agentic AI" to impress their buddies.
Speaking of that, you never did respond to Sims in the following thread who responded directly to you and posted his own experience using AI to dramatically improve his processes:
https://texags.com/forums/16/topics/3600406/replies/72077864let me post what Sims said for the benefit of everyone else in this thread:
" For one thing, rather than have our estimators looks at 300+ pages of ISO drawings, we were able to use Claude Cowork to create a self contained app with a "vision" API that parses each page to extract a BOM, identifies weld points and labels parts in the ISOs to create heat logs and extract inches of weld. It also outputs a by iso page detail of the parts and a document level summary aggregating all of the parts on all isos into a single sheet grouped by part type so that we can get those items out to bid with vendors in about 2 hours once the ISO package is received. This would have taken us about a week and a half before. There's a very real, very beneficial example of slashing overhead costs by about 90%.
Operationally, our robotic plasma machines didn't have issues cutting cylinders that were of decently small diameter...say 4 - 6 feet. As the diameters increased, the robots had orders of magnitude more errors in precision cut locations. We've tried for years to correct the issues in the software but were unable. Essentially, the larger the diameter cylinder, the less it stays as a true circle in its cross section and the more it squishes into an oval shape from it's own weight. The programs were designed to reference from a centerline around a circle, not an oval and that was something the techs hadn't been able to correct. Now the we fed that code through AI and it has corrected the programming for observable deformation in the cross section shape. We've eliminated errors on large cylinders up to 14'. There's a very real, very beneficial example of AI enabled process automation that is saving us lots of money both in process time initially and rework time to correct errors."
