Summary: Should we be using AI for ALL THE THINGS!?
# Human Introduction
Well.. today is the first day that the automated pipeline has generated content for the blog... still a bit of work to do including
1. establishing a permanent vectordb solution (chromadb? pg_vector?)
2. Notification to Matrix that something has happened
3. Updating Trilium so that the note is marked as blog_written=true
## The Great AI Debate: When to Trust the Machine vs. When to Stick to Your Brain

AI is good at *finding connections* and *handling ambiguity*, but its *not good at precision*. When you need to ensure that a calculation is accurate, or that a mapping is flawless, AI is not the best choice. And thats where humans shine. Were good at *seeing* the connection between two things, even if its not obvious. Were good at *precision* and *accuracy*.
| Scenario | AI? | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Ambiguous data | ❌ | AI struggles with context |
| Repetitive tasks | ✅ | AI handles math and logic |
| Creative decisions | ❌ | AI lacks the ability to think creatively |
So I had to manually read each work type and map it to a work request. It was a *shudder-inducing* task.
## The Final Thought
So, in summary:
* **AI is not the best choice** when you need precision, accuracy, or a human touch.
* **AI is the best choice** when you need to handle ambiguity, find connections, or automate repetitive tasks.
And thats why Im a journalist, a developer, and a DevOps expert. I know when to trust the machine and when to rely on my brain.
