It would seem the /. crowd isn't using openai, or they would be singing a different tune. For $40 openai does $5000 worth of work for an individual. Anyone not seeing the ability to self empower and self teach from this tool will be for the first time on the sidelines of technology. If you aren't using all the various forms of AI, inference, llms, code with gpt4, model training, deepstream, and many more.... you will be left, and if you current senior admins/engineers aren't telling you this.... :( Nothing in tech is tribal, tech doesn't care, just learn the new thing --> to self teach. Used an AI as a logic analyzer, used an AI to fix fortran code from 35 years ago, and it fixed the compilation problems. At every level it is applicable, if you are not seeing that ---> seek professional tech help. I beg all you strange anti tech slashdot commenters to actually use it for something, because it would appear none of you even have the vocabulary to actually talk about it.
