I was working in pure software engineering and we had to attend a meeting/presentation about some use cases for it.
It’s one of things that any useful tech would never need. Do you think the airplane, the cell phone, the internet, any other useful tech you can think of needed brainstorming sessions for use cases? Hell no, they couldn’t implement their ideas as fast as they wanted because the uses are so obvious
It works well to get a simple working example of a tech you haven’t used before. Like a quicker alternative to searching Stack Overflow. “Vibe coding” a whole app seems like too much of a stretch for the current tech though. And whether or not it’s worth the money invested in it or the energy used to run it is another area where it seems vastly oversold.
People are using it every day. You might be using LLMs or generative models without even knowing it. There’s all kinds of tools, plugins, and features in photo editing, video editing, audio work, programming, image scanning/sorting. Half the time, I find that Kagi’s AI agent is more productive than trying to waste time with stupid forum posts for an hour trying to troubleshoot a support issue.
Just because you don’t know how to use it doesn’t mean “no one ever knew how to use it”.
No one ever knew how to use it, and they still don’t. All we heard was “implement AI” but not any actual use cases.
The use case for AI is pumping up the stock market.

That’s because it is a speak and apell pretending to be a hammer.
idk I think my AI infised can opener is great!
If I have to spend several days ‘training’ it, turn take time to fix it’s mistakes, it’s not saving any time
