Literally everywhere. I'm running a scientific project where I've got to inspect large amount of whole-body MRI segmentations. The software available on market is very clunky for doing that, so I've asked Claude to write one perfectly tailored for my use case. With all the helper functions I've asked it to implement, the software sped up reviews >4x. And I couldn't write it myself.

I agree there are usecases, but image classification is not the hype. Still - that's great, can we get a link? Or let me guess it's internal, you don't want to doxx yourself?

Knowing medical software requirements, which might be there for a reason, i highly doubt this will see production.

Why would I distribute software that's tailor made for me? I don't want to deal with headaches associated with distributing it.

It won't, the software is not a point of my work, it's just a tool for my actual project which has nothing to do with programming (very useful tool but still - not a goal on it's own).

Excel sped up reviews >100x without Bill Gates preaching daily that devs were cooked.

Excel has limited uses. AI threatens replacement of all cognitive work. Don’t you see the difference?

> AI threatens replacement of all cognitive work

AI does nothing. CEOs want to use it to replace all cognitive work, it doesn't mean it is inevitable. That is why smart people are fighting against the narrative push.

It’s not inevitable but based on current trajectory it’s very likely. Not preparing for it is the opposite of being smart.
