Since the hype around ChatGPT and LLMs I’ve tried a lot of different tools. From the basics (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Copilot, Gemini and DeepSeek) to more specific tools (Sora, Veo, Lovable, Base44, Replit and Bolt). Beyond tools alone, I’ve also used Make.com and n8n to build AI agents. Lastly, I encountered a tool that generated music with a simple prompt, very interesting.
In the past few years, I have discovered the AI landscape on my own and via online reviews. Not only did I discover and many try tools, I now use them regularly. Not only for personal use, but also for work. Let me first state that I am impressed with the speed at which Ai is moving. New models and new tools pop up weekly, it’s hard to keep up. After about 2 years of weekly use, I I think I have a sense of how AI can currently support humans.
For me personally, tools such as ChatGPT and Claude really help with brainstorming and extracting data from large reports. These tools can also help with easy programming tasks and statistics. This saves a tremendous amount of time. Of course, everything with caution. You always need to check for hallucinations. But besides some hallucinations, these are some real use cases that I use daily. Another good use case is document translation, which I use for work. Of course, the translations aren’t 100% correct, but it can be a good draft and useful for internal use.
Some people think AI is going to replace humans, but I don’t think this will happen soon. Of course, AI agents can automate a lot of tasks and chatbots can replace low-level support employees, but I don’t think AI will render humans useless. For simple tasks like creating summaries or transcripts, AI really is useful. See it as an entry-level employee or intern. You have to give it well-defined tasks, and only then the outcome will be good. In more advanced tasks where decision-making is needed, humans seem better equipped.
To conclude, I think AI currently is a useful sidekick to save time and improve efficiency. When used correctly, it can genuinely leverage human skills. But for me personally, I don’t see AI replacing human jobs completely. We all know why. Chatbots are annoying and still stupid, AI-generated images feel off most of the time and videos feel to perfect.
