I think I've used Google Lens at work once, to identify an electrical component. I want to see if it can read resistor values at some point.
But, I likely wouldn't even notice if AI stopped working.
Well, I regularly get the AI replies from Google searches, but i skip them. I am the only developer in my team who does not use AI. And sometimes I wonder if I'm the only one who can still think without crutches.
i wonder if most tech employees currently getting hired have to use alot of AI or they have experience in it?
As someone casually looking around the job market, it's at least mentioned in so many job descriptions.
They had Google lens (machine learning) before chat gpt was released to the public (llm), so i don't usually paint it by the same AI brush.
I've used it quite a few times and it works pretty well for identifying things.
I've had a similar problem using it though. Most of the time it's bang on, but sometimes with really hard problems, it is confidently wrong, and returns a bunch of things that look similar but are significantly different from your picture. If you are used to it being correct and aren't in the habit of thinking critically about its answer, it is easy to be mislead by its oracular answers.
