This is where I find it lacking:

1. I am not yet convinced that I am more productive with AI for complex tasks. But, I am fairly certain for trivial tasks, or bureaucratic tasks AI has lessened my cognitive load (data point of one).

2. Does AI run on money, or does it run on energy? Money is the means by which we facilitate exchange. But in reality, the energy in the universe is ginormous. The fundamental thing to keep AI going is available in excess, all other things are negotiation.

3. Is AI bad for the environment or is it the way we obtain energy bad for the environment? The trend seems to be that energy is getting cheaper and cleaner. The world is not static, but will move to accommodate a world with AI.

Isn't LLM doing something like argmax{x} P(x|context) where x is the next word, and context is the words before including your instructions? Thus, the LLM output is heavily depending on your instructions, and if you input an expert context it would produce an expert result. Consequently, domain expertise has a significant bearing on what you can achieve from LLM.

Hey... Thanks for the interest, but right now, it is being offered exclusively on Amazon as it is a part of the KDP Select programme.
