What if anything is anyone using these for? thinking more in the work setting
We have pilots going on at the minute using the Copilots in excel and PowerPoint. A lot of it being used to do and/or proof coding.

I know people who have used them to help write end of year performance reviews.

We use them to help collate information for tenders - so for example, we can ask our AI where we have previously done x, y and z and it will give us a written response with direct links to previous bids or case studies. It definately saves a lot of time.
We also have a private ChatGPT we use in writing tenders. We'd use it to reword reducing word count, as an example.
In both cases, they only give you a starter for 10. Wouldn't, and shouldn't, just copy and paste the output as fact. It certainly needs sanitised and reviewed for use as sometimes it comes back with nonsense. In general though, it saves a lot of time in writing bid documents.
There is a lot of spin about AI but it's not clear if it will be the gamechanger that people expect. It uses a lot of computer power to find patterns in things and a lot of output is nonsense.
It seems to be having a big impact on marketing and things like writing contracts. Software wise it can write code for you but that's based on the bank of data you have so new stuff not as much but I am sure that will improve.
It can give you garbage but there is a real skill to getting what you want out of it too.
They slap AI on everything now as a marketing gimmick. From TVs, fridges, washing machines etc. None of that contains true AI. Very little actually does.

We have it on our products too, can be off putting for some

In the software space we've used AI to help modernise code, taking something like cobol and writing an equivalent. We had some good results out of it but it's not perfect. It does generally get the gist of what existing code is doing but you are right, all depends on the learned information.
Also seen some really good use cases on predictive maintenance on equipment or vehicles like trucks and cranes. Certainly can provide real efficiencies there.
There is some really cool stuff, but a lot of what you here about is generative AI based which isn't as exciting imo.
Where its really cool is when it's able to tell you something you would not have worked out without ai.
I've used ChatGPT to write code at work. I tell it what I want the code to do and it just spits it out. I might have to tweak the prompt a few times, but in general it saves me an hour or two's work each time I use it.
There is a bit of chatter about the GAA using AI images for programme covers, complete with soccer goals.

My company, a Redi-Mix Concrete supplier, is using it currently to help develop mixes for different applications and to reduce carbon. It's very interesting and only in it's infancy, just wait to see what it can do in 5-10 years time.

Worryingly the soccer goals isn't the biggest mistake, only 2 euro for a match programme? No chance
Programme for Antrim V Galway hurling game was £5/5 euro but it covered the 3 Leinster games over the week-end.
Maybe Munster did the same - one programme for their two games?
It makes sense I suppose.
Funny thing is, unless it's a final, there's not much in the programme now content wise apart from ads and initiatives etc.
Even, as the teams needs to be announced a few days before, it's seldom that there's not a few changes - the dummy teams!! I'd still see some old traditional lads with the pen putting the tic beside who scored the latest point.
Big mad they put soccer goals in it though - that's a bad mistake. I saw someone/group giving out that the GAA was using AI when there's hundreds of local 'artists' who could do a nice cover for the programme. Maybe the GAA were just cutting the costs a bit.
