I don’t really use AI. I just don’t have any use for it. However, I was attempting to make some text style changes to my blog yesterday and, not being a coder, within a few minutes of using a combination of ChatGPT and Claude I had managed to successfully add some custom CSS to my theme and, hey presto, mission accomplished.

Just to be clear, I’m no AI evangelist nor a doomsayer but it seems to me this is an entirely useful instance of the new tool.

I’m fully aware that as I use AI to solve a trivial technical issue there are those losing livelihoods and lives as a result of the same technology.

But wasn’t it ever thus? Take any moment in human history and can we not observe that while we were making great progressive strides we were simultaneously going to hell in a hand-cart.
