I used to be quite against AI but now we are more or less required to use it at work, and I am finding I like it. It is never 100% right, but for some stuff it is pretty good.
For general lookups I find the default MS CoPilot to work pretty good most of the time, I believe this to be based off of one of the Chat GPT versions, but not sure.
For work I find Claude Sonnet 4.5 to be the best so far (I believe this agent is primarily for software development):
1. It can do all the boiler plate code for starting a project.
2. It is very good at find compilation errors
3. It has been trained with a lot of known computational and geometric algorithms.
4. You can guide it, i.e. tell it to stay within a particular version and it mostly does.
Overall I find that I get the best results if I am very specific about what I want and how I want it done. If I leave the requests open ended it will usually generate something that works and will compile, but is difficult to build on.
Overall it is a statistical tool, if it is trained on the internet data without good guidance it will be as messed up as the internet is. But if trained with good data and information it can be quite powerful.
