Aaargh it looks so cool and futuristic but I know it’s impractical as hell

It’s usually not inside the sun thanks to Jupiter’s fat ass

Yes, but it’s mostly shifting because of Jupiter. It’s just so dang heavy. Like, a couple times heavier than every other planet put together. I don’t have the brain wattage to do the cool math right now, but a quick google search says that while the barycenter of the solar system does depend on all the planets, more often than not, it is outside the sun

Legitimately could be a use case

“Attend this meeting for me. If anyone asks, claim that your camera and microphone aren’t working. After the meeting, condense the important information into one paragraph and email it to me.”

“What’s the best company to give control of my thermostat to?”

I’m extremely skeptical of medical diagnosis AIs. Without being able to explain why it comes to a conclusion, how do we know it won’t just accidentally find correlations? One example I heard of recently was an AI that was extremely good at detecting TB… based on the age of the machine that took the x-ray. Because it turns out places with older machines tend to be poorer, and poorer places tend to have more TB.

The only positive use I can think of is time saving measures. A researcher can feed a study to ChatGPT and have it write a rough first draft of the abstract. A Game Master could ask it for inspiration on the next few game sessions if they’re underprepared. An internet commenter could ask it for a third example of how it could save time.

But for anything serious, until it can explain why it comes to the conclusions it comes to, and can understand when a human says “no, you’re doing it wrong,” I can’t see it being a real force for good.
