Maybe “forces” is a setting thing, but I don’t get any AI inputs in my G Suite.
In Docs for example , don’t you have to click on “help me write”? And I wouldn’t count the spell-check as AI.
I just cannot stand it. For example, I tried to use it to help me writing performance reviews for my team. I was not able to even fully read it - they way it writes, the amount of corporate BS included… I know that I can ask to rewrite it etc. But at the end, I just did it myself.
Additionally, I hate that it will most probably make as even dumber than we are

AI is a tool and you have to use the right tool for the right job and know how to use it.
I see a lot of people using LLMs for the wrong job or don’t know how to use it properly.

If you tell it to do sth from scratch without much guidance, you get the corporate BS. But if you give it some examples and hints (can also be saved if you later wanna come back to it again), it works quite decent.
To me this discussion seems a bit like early days of computer when late-adapters came up with reasons why the typewriter is superior to this new technique stuff because what if there is no electricity, or something breaks and you cannot fix it yourself, etc…

plus you can ask questions like this:
*yes my new hobby is to ask AI the most badly-phrased questions to see what it comes up with.

Sure, I know. But in this case it’s just faster for me to write stuff myself and the end effect is good enough…judging from what I was able to get for my Team 
Fully agreed. However, I just have huge issues with the concept in general and I’m quite pessimistic about what it will led humans to… I guess I’m just getting old
So do you make good use of your high-end graphic card(s), and then people say there’s no money to be made on that AI stuff and related hardware.
Btw, that game did sound very lame, but when I got a free copy on Steam epic games a while ago, I spent quite a good amount of time balancing those packages and built zip lines.

AI for now is mainly doing „good enough „ stuff. For „good“ you still need the Human Element 
Want AI slop ? -: use ChatGPT
Want to write performance review -: write yourself is better option

It’s not either or (fully AI, no AI). IMO the mix makes it perfect.
Unless you are a god tier writer, getting feedback from a competent AI model will make it better.*
*If you prompt it correctly.
*Whether you save time in the end is another thing. I usually don’t.

I tried writing a cover letter. It was very interesting but made no sense for me
I agree though. Augmenting is better
Lol reddit talking about a “bloodbath” because the NASDAQ dropped 1.4% yesterday…
I think there was no reason for Nasdaq to fall yesterday. Not sure what actually triggered the drop in high beta stocks.
someone wrote an article saying that AI wasn’t making much money and so those long AI trade panicked.

There was no reason, there is no reason and there doesn’t have to be a reason. Things just happen for no reason, there is too much randomness involved. Anybody who cannot accept this probably is not made for the stock market.
I think it is funny how people always look for a reason in a field where there is probably none. Newspapers are the worst. You will always find some kind of explanation for anything, but our world is just a lot of randomness. However, some of us always need a story…
The next step in our erroneous thinking: if there was a reason, I should have seen it before it happened. That is a dangerous path. One of over hundred bias that f… up our investments. And those bias are the main reason I did automate my investments.

Professional gossips, the internet made it a ton worse, at least in the past they had to come up with something to write/say every ~8 hours, since the late 90s and accelerated from ~2010 onwards they have to write/say something 24/7.
Of course, economics and finance are not sciences, they are somewhere between reading tea leaves and phrenology.
