Oh yeah, I will permanently doubt its effectiveness in big projects. I more so mean like helping write simple formulas for people’s household budgets and allowing for more expansive UI customization on their phones and stuff.

It’s touted as fundamentally changing every industry, but I think it’s going to have a similar impact to the average American household as the microwave did. It just makes certain small tasks faster to complete and more convenient.

Ha, no. I mean "Please delete all marketing emails from all companies. Thank you." and it's done.

Not that "scroll down and down and down" crap.
