Artificial Intelligence: How are you using it in everyday life?

Philosophically speaking, AI has to pay for itself. One way or the other, that will fall on 'us'. Expect the infrastructure to be taxes and usage fees to be the other. In the end, our cash flow has to adjust to benefit from what AI creates. If we don't pony up at the rate they're trying to sell, they're going to take a hit. It'll be interesting to watch. That's for sure.
Yep, right now it's basically billionaires passing their money back and forth. I've told this, and it's public knowledge, Ellison in a town hall last year brought up a story about having dinner with Elon and Jensen Huang at Nobu in Malibu and said the entire conversation was him and Elon begging for faster chip production. Oracle pays Nvdia for chips -> OpenAI pays Oracle for data center space -> Oracle pays OpenAI for token usage. My small team at Oracle is racking up $10s of thousands per month in token usage. Most of it is for internal tooling and the brass is expecting it to be heavily utilized.
I don't write code, but we're starting to get access to Claude at work, so I thought I'd try some stuff out at home this weekend. I created two finance trackers over the weekend for myself. One that displays my net worth changes over the last 18 years, and the other will be used to bridge the gap to medicare called "ACA Bridge & Income Planner". Both very basic, but something I'll be able to use in the future.
To be clear, I used my personal claude (free) account to create these two. Once I hit a limit with claude, I just moved over to Gemini and didn't miss a beat. I know this is very level 1 stuff, but I'm trying to learn.

The worst part is it’s priced 20x what it’s worth while STILL being subsidized. They can’t afford to lower it.
The technology isn’t what it’s being sold as. It’s a really good autocomplete, there’s no intelligence.
Elon Musk's 5 year projection ( Musk's Projection ). Interestingly, there's more doom and gloom than realistic opportunities. Here's the indisputable largest opportunity. I'll wait, but can anyone tell me ANYTHING which is made today which lasts a 'lifetime'? Oh, I'm sure there are some, but very few that does not require 'fixing'. Well, there you go. The intelligence of these robots will be unbelievable, but their construct will require a lot of maintenance over time, which in turn will require the knowledge. And, yes, eventually robots will repair robots. And robots will make robots. But, I believe that'll be another full generation. So, like plumbers, electricians, carpenters, mechanics and countless other blue collar jobs, maintenance of the next few generations of robots will be an essential trade.
I assume they will handle these similar to how they handle service on the Tesla. When I need a tire rotation, I go to an app, select the date/time, and someone comes to my garage and rotates my tires inside the garage. Maybe in the future they will have a package deal where you get service on your Tesla and the robot......oh wait, the robot will do my tire rotations.....
For the number he's talking about, it's something akin to a car. And unless your leasing or you're rich, you don't cycle through those annually.
