Weird because AI has been solving hard problems for me. Even finding solutions that I couldn’t find myself. Ie. sometimes my brain cant wrap around a problem, I throw it to AI and it perfectly solves it.
I pay for chatgpt plus and github copilot.
It is weird that AI is solving hard problems for you. I can't get it to do the most basic things consistently, most of the time it's just pure garbage. I'd never pay for "AI" because it wastes more of my time than it saves. But I've never had a problem wrapping my head around a problem, I solve problems.
I'm curious what kind of problem your "brain cant wrap around", but the AI could.
One of the most common use cases is that I can't figure out why my SQL statement is erroring or doesn't work the way it should. I throw it into ChatGPT and it usually solves it instantly.
Is that a "hard problem" though? Really?

In my case, Learning new stuff is one place I see AI playing major role. Especially the academic research which is hard to start if you are newbie but with AI I can start my research, read more papers with better clarity.
Which model are you using?
Sounds like you're not capable of using AI correctly, user error.
Sorry, I'm not taking a comment like this from a 2-hour old account seriously. You don't know me at all.
"It can't be that stupid, you must be prompting it wrong!"
Sigh.
Can you give some examples??
Calculate the return on investment for a solar installation of a specified size on a specified property based on the current dynamic prices of all of the panels, batteries, inverter, and balance of system components, the current zoning and electrical code, the current cost of capital, the average insolation and weather taking into account likely changes in weather in the future as weather instability increases due to more global increase of temperature, the chosen installation method and angle, and the optimal angle of the solar panels if adjusted monthly or quarterly. Now do a Manual J calculation to determine the correct size of heat pump in each section of that property, taking into account number of occupants, insulation level, etc.
ChatGPT is currently the best solar calculator on the publicly accessible internet and it's not even close. It'll give you the internal rate of return, it'll ask all the relevant questions, find you all the discounts you can take in taxes and incentives, determine whether you should pay the additional permitting and inspection cost for net metering or just go local usage with batteries, size the batteries for you, and find some candidate electricians to do the actual installation once you acquire the equipment.
Edit: My guess is that it'd cost several thousand dollars to hire someone to do this for you, and it'll save you probably in the $10k-$30k range on the final outcomes, depending on the size of system.
My God, the first example is having an AI do math, then he says "Well I trust it to a standard deviation"
So it's literally the same as googling "what's the ballpark solar installation cost for X in Y area" unbelievable, and people pay $20+ per month for this

Any way to tell if the convincing final numbers it told you are real or halucinated ?

Examples or it didn't happen.
