Other guy covered it decently. I think it’s also remember to have a little bit of humility and remember that just because you don’t have a use for something doesn’t mean others don’t either. In addition, just because you can’t think of a use for something doesn’t mean there isn’t any. I say this as a huge critic of AI/LLM’s and how they’ve been deployed.

No, I don't think humility is the problem. It's just a bullshit idea that nobody needs.

AI audio tools have allowed me to restore audio that five years ago I would’ve said had to be re-recorded or is otherwise unsalvageable.

AI transcription has been one of the greatest gifts to the disabilities community we have seen in decades. It is borderline as significant as screen readers for the visually impaired.

Again, just because you don’t know about applications doesn’t mean there aren’t any. You need to stop speaking out of turd about things you don’t understand. Again, I say this as somebody who is harshly critical of LLM‘s and the theft that trains these systems. There are a lot of different forms and tools that this technology takes.

You're going to do all that in your emails?

I appreciate your letting me know that I am wasting my time actually explaining the potential uses of these tools i’m sorry you’re so myopic about this.

The thread is about email though.
