Sure there are useful applications, but I don’t actually need it for anything I do.
I’ve seen applications that are very useful. YouTuber Berm Peak used ai to bypass the controller of the world’s worst ebike so it wouldn’t become e-waste and fix it’s worst flaws. Yes new firmware could have been written from scratch. But he fixes bikes. He’s not a software developer.
It’s like you don’t need a ball point pen to write, you could use a quill and save the plastic waste. But quills are so slow you don’t even consider it.
A dude DYI’ing his bike isn’t something to even take into account…
Like saying screwdrivers are useful because I used one once to hammer in a nail because I didn’t have a hammer and I had no idea what I was doing… Doesn’t mean the screwdriver was useful in that instance, it just means I was too incompetent to use the right tool and knowledge for the job.

I’m old enough to remember Hypercard. It was a revolution for regular people to create the one off app they needed to fix their own problems.
Hypercard was a nightmare for professional development. But it didn’t matter. It was a tool for regular people.
