I use GenAI for work. It does a reasonable job but it's like having a bunch of work experience kids that churn loads of work out but need a lot of checking.

In the decking example it hasn't created that good advice, it's pinched it from someone else without credit. I fear people will be less likely to create original content and AI will be left to learn from a bunch of adverts left by other AI bots, the internet will become dumber.

From what I've read, that's already happening, a) quite badly, and b) faster than expected.

I'm also in the camp of using AI in my job - I have to review a lot of technical submissions for compliance against 100's of standards, and AI helps massively. It's not always 100% correct but does save me a lump of time!
