Ask HN: Has anyone built anything useful using AI?
By useful I mean "something that doesn't just output text".
A lot of the tools I see are chat wrappers or code generators.

I think people in the content business have probably seen the most significant boost from AI, so far.
I have. The advent of "reasoning" llms means you can trust them with judgments.
Chatgpt basically invented it in september of 2024. We are only coming up on the concept's 1st birthday. Open source options have only been out for 6 months.
I highly recommend using these for your own purposes.
Curious to know this too.
I miss the pre LLM days on HN when hype was spread around various topics instead of it just being about AI.
On HN, AI has diluted the hype around bitcoin so that is a net positive.
I have used coding agents with great success. So in some way I'm building useful things using AI, and the people who created those agents absolutely created something extremely useful.
No. They are hype.
Yep.
