I have decades of IT/Network/Enterprise experience, but creating and writing a complex tool would have been well beyond my abilities or patience. I had a friend say that AI is a "scourge on the intellectually lazy" and I couldn't really refute that, but I had to add that it is a boon to a lazy intellectual, which I consider myself to be.

I was just thinking the other day that AI has made work and learning new tech (we talkin' tech?!?) feel more fun again. I think part of that is the "mild distraction" ADHD hack where you can focus on completing something more when there's something else going on in the background. Combining the two and including cats is brilliant. Though, I do already have two that try their best, they can't quite get the "mild" bit down.
