Funny how AI saved me from carrying my laptop again to the repairman.
Laptop repairs are always crazy expensive and every new HP, Dell or MacBook that a sorry owner carries in is like gold on the leach for the repairman.
My computer had some booting issues and I was tired.
Couldn't boot without me charging it in first or if it boots, it just shows some words on the screen and then turns off.
My dad has already said I should get ready to go the store but I wasn't in the mood or of the capacity to fund some repair guy's weekend outing so I just copied the text the laptop showed when I turned it on before it turns back off into GPT, told it my laptop's name and model and it gave me the steps to fix the problem.
AI has helped me but also deprived the lot of a potential customer.
I feel it's more of a give and take situation and even though I am very wary of it as a writer, I am curious to how far it'll go.
Regardless, if someone walked out on my little nephew's school career day and said he's an AI Strategy and Innovation Director, I would surely giggle at how made up it sounds 😂
You could have done that in the past just by pasting the same stuff into Google. I think 9 out of 10 techs will tell you that is the key to doing their job. AI just aggregates it a little better and makes it easier to sift through. It's nothing new or ground breaking though. I'm glad you got your laptop fixed. I'm also glad you saved the money by not going to the repairman.
