Being a sci-fi geek I'm all about the (wicked of course) AI superintelligence, but often when I use AI it's hopeless.

Writing an article? - Even with prompts it spits out generic, high level stuff and makes mistakes

Creating a lifelike photo? - Not great and sometimes not what I asked for - the three legged and six fingered people have disappeared recently though

Creating a PowerPoint deck - hopeless - quicker to do it myself even when it's a summary of an article I've given it.

What it is useful for is telling me if I've missed any main points when I give it a quick outline of an article, making draft cheat sheets, tick lists and summaries of main points. Also giving me editing tips and taking out the 'ums' and 'ers' from recording.

Yes, my prompts could improve, and AI is amazing, but it's still not as capable as a human. Just faster and doing things to a not great standard.
