He doesn't need Ai either, compared to lot of others.
no one "needs" AI, imo. I think I know what you mean, I just don't think there is any use case that rises to the level of "need".
I think it could be useful in edge cases and the user needs to be skilled at whatever they're using it for.
Reality is it is predominantly used by rich assholes to cut corners and get around hiring and paying workers.
idk, i have a hard time imagining a scenario where AI output is preferable to the alternatives. If one "needs" an AI to do something, they should just hire a human. They will get better results than they get from the word-association machine. Once AI companies stop subsidizing the cost of AI to attract users, the human will probably be the cheaper option, too.
Oh that's easy, it's when you need the thing cheap and now.
I used to work at a friend's start-up where, charitably, his approach to business was archaic. "We don't need to advertise because good word-of-mouth is good enough, and what's the point of having a website and social media?" kind of archaic. Without a doubt, he would be using AI for absolutely everything.
