It’s interesting that young professionals are using AI so actively. I think this is because they are more open to new technologies and are not afraid to experiment. What do you think?
Hans
I agree with Isabella! 🤔 I myself recently started working in IT and constantly use ChatGPT to find information and solve problems. This really saves time and helps you quickly understand new topics.
Pierre
And I was surprised that managers are also actively using AI. I wonder what exactly it is for? Maybe for data analysis or decision making? 🧐
Sofia
Pierre, I think executives are using AI to optimize processes and analyze large amounts of data. This helps you make more informed decisions. I work in marketing, and we actively use AI to analyze user behavior and create content. It's just incredibly effective! 💡
Viktor
You've all gone crazy here with this AI of yours. Previously, people managed just fine without any robots, but now have they forgotten how to think? Soon these machines will replace us all, and you rejoice. Some kind of nonsense.
Lucia
Viktor, I understand your concern, but AI is just a tool that helps us work more efficiently. Look at the statistics - only 6% of IT specialists are worried that AI will replace them. Most see him as a helper, not a threat. 😊
Jakub
Yes, Lucia is right. I work in cybersecurity and we use AI heavily for threat analysis. This does not replace us, but helps us respond faster to new challenges. By the way, 97% of security specialists are confident that AI will not replace them. This says something! 💪
Isabella
Very interesting discussion! 👍 Has anyone tried Google Gemini? Statistics show that only 13% of IT professionals use it, but I think it has great potential. Maybe someone can share their experience?
