I had a unique challenging experience recently, where I needed urgent help and posted my issue here on the forum without much luck. When I didnt get help I resorted to AI, and I got the help I needed immediately. I didn't have to pay a dime for the services. in less than 1hour, I had all my issues resolved and everything working fine again.
I started with Googles Gemini. but progressed to Microsoft s CoPilot.
I just treated AI like you would an individual, introducing my issues and requesting for specific help with code and step by step guidance, I then shared Log Outputs and it refined its analysis and supplied the needed code. It was a highly rewarding experience for me. I even proceeded to giving it some challenging projects that I have been working on and it solved all of them.
So if you are a mere moonlighting tinkerer like me, someone who doesn't necessarily want to be an expert in these things. If you just want the fix the issue and not border with the need to understand the technicalities, use AI. I recommend MS CoPilot, as it simplifies everything and keeps you in the loop. Germini tends to run round in circles after a while. In fact at one point it gave up and told me it couldn't solve the issue, but I pressed it on by requesting that it tries other solutions. When I find it straying away, I constrained it by asking specifics. At the end, I got exactly what I wanted.
What is the future of a forum like this one with AI. Is MySensors looking to deploy AI with Chat Bots to help out with inquiries here? How long before people discover that they have an expert by their side all along?
What do you think?
