Coding of course is something I know well and it obviously works very well for me there, but computer vision was not, and it has helped me solve lots of useful, bespoke problems because I can very literally "see" if it works.
However, it has even helped me solve problems in arbitrary matters far outside my expertise. Choice example: a complicated multi-airline, multi-jurisdiction flight delay compensation case which companies like AirHelp turned away, and ChatGPT got me literally hundreds of dollars that neither airline was willing to hand out. It told me what to say to whom and why, and when I said it, the responsible airline capitulated.
What could be more convincing than cold, hard $$$?
The trick of course, is to figure out how to validate the output of the AI, which can take some effort on our part. But many would rather downplay the technology than take an honest crack at making it work for them, and I suspect it's because they're already prejudiced against it or their incentives are otherwise not aligned.
