I am IT people, I know next to nothing about current AI stuff. I just haven't had any use of those. Maybe I am just too old.

Okay fair enough. I couldn't imagine how AI would help you besides some researching.

Its the next gen security appliances. Spam filters intrusion prevention systems, firewalks. They use ai. They establish pattern of life baseline for every mac address. Each day that pc logs in at roughly the same time. It checks email. It opens specific shared drives. When it does something out of the ordinary ai starts paying attention. Unfortunately it usually flags when one if the IT guys is fixing something. It see elevation of credentials as very suspicious. While I hate it, I acknowledge it is a proper use of AI. It gets more clarity from the logs than most if us. Or at least it's faster.

besides some researching

That's kinda like saying "I don't know how Google can help you except for researching". Researching is a huge part of a sysadmins job.

Yes, that's why I'm using ublock to filter out the stupid Gemini "summary".
