There's a lot of talk about Generative AI, and I don't doubt that it will eventually be a world-changing technology, but my experience with it so far has been similar to my experience with using dashboards.
Both claim they will save me time
Both take a bit to get familiar with the interface before I start seeing results I expect
Both are good for quick checks on things
If I try to use either in a way that my reputation depends on, it’s faster to do the work myself than to take the output and do all the necessary checks and adjustments
To be slightly more specific on this last point, the last time I used Gen AI it was to help me with some writing. By the time I adjusted the output to something I could actually share, I think it would have been faster to write it myself. The last (few) time(s) I used a dashboard, I wasn’t able to use the base visualization, nor could I get the data out in a useful way, so I ended up pulling everything from SQL anyway.
The images it can create are pretty cool, though!
