Notes -
I've had my first significant, positive interaction with AI.
I needed a plugin for blender, bought it off an online shop, went to install it and got a big spew of error codes in Blender's console. I spent thirty minutes blind-googling error codes and various rephrasings of "why doesn't [plugin] install", to no avail. As frustration mounted, I noticed one search had popped up an abbreviated AI answer in the header, and from testimonials here and from coworkers I figured I had nothing to lose, and started feeding the error codes to the AI instead. It correctly diagnosed the problem on the first shot, and within about twenty minutes of feeding it successive results, had the problem sorted and the plugin installed. Given the nature of the problem and the solution, I'm pretty confident I would not have been able to figure it out in daily slices of a late-night hour or two after getting the kids to bed and the chores handled, before simply losing motivation and moving on to something else. AI straight-up saved my butt.
