I will repeat this over and over. AI is not for you or for me, we are users of the byproduct which is money exchange. Look at search engines, google is perfect example. AI just makes it so that we users can make simple queries and get answers, Google did that too and then became this monster which makes absolutely nothing, but searching the internet is easier and billions in ad revenue.
Some may argue there are some of us power users find beneficial use of AI, but we are small subset of users who in many cases were already smart enough to do the work. I love cowork for that reason, I share code I’ve written, projects with epics and work items and cowork makes the next project just like I did. What took a week, takes hours. Time which I now spend learning the next actual thing, quantum computing.
For those who are fed up by Google's shitty searches, try Qwant!
Kagi is also good, but it's paid.
Qwant is nice, but it keeps blocking my VPN and locks me out if I happen to use a non-European exit node. And I'm not pulling down my mask for a fucking search engine.
