Actual learning - AI will not help


I have been learning a new language... very (torturous to put it mildly) slowly! I do use AI in a limited form. But even with my utterly absolute basic level I do see the mistakes. For the remotely fluent speaker they could see the failures of AI by magnitudes.

Just because AI has ticked all the boxes for your latest 3rd, 4th or 7th Masters doesn't mean you actually have any understanding or "survival!"

Further more, I have actually realised that trying to learn another language is actually improving my English, & I am only on the start of this learning experience.

Putting all the above technicalities aside, it does gives me a reason to keep going.

While there are times that I'm genuinely astounded by what it can do, my general conclusion that AI has about the same IQ as a cheese toastie. 

Unfortunately that means that sometimes I spend as much time double checking and fixing the stuff produced by AI as I would have spend if I'd done the work myself. :(

I use AI almost every day. I have found that it provides useful answers to 90% of my computer related questions. For other types of questions, eg electronic component identification, it is mostly useless. In fact it is worse than useless because it generates fictitious results. Copilot (Microsoft's AI) wasn't able to evaluate a simple mathematical expression, even after several attempts, and after I showed it the way. I have used both Gemini and Copilot to produce computer programs which would have taken me several hours to write and debug. Gemini's program was bug-free. Copilot's program had a few syntax errors which I corrected, but was otherwise OK.
