I must admit, what this did help me with was the interconnection of settings in MSFS and NVAPP.. how each one impacts on the other... i made some adjustments and others left out... for my system, i have to say it helped in some areas... each to their own i guess eh...

Dear Lord, this started out about a small addition to SI (I tried it, the results were mixed), and we're now in Terminator territory.

BTW, I use Claude and Claude Cowork every day in my work, and I think it's an amazing productivity tool - provided you know what you're doing.

We're way passed the "asking a chatbot a question" stage.

Millions of people do ask for AI help every day. Microsoft Edge Browser has an AI icon right on top for that reason.. Demand for AI is enormous and driving up the price some computer components.

Ask the same question to three different AIs, and you’ll get three different answers and all three answers will almost certainly be lies.

I don’t know if AI is going to destroy us as a species or not, but I don’t think it will be necessary we’re already doing a fine job of destroying ourselves by consuming all the planet’s resources at an unsustainable rate. The only thing missing was AI, which consumes resources as if there were no tomorrow.

I think the issue with AI, is that far too many people simply think it's always correct, I have had many suggesitons, tips, information that have been simply wrong. Often, a long way off being correct. As for this AI tool, out of curiosity I downloaded it and let it run it's course and then followed the suggestions it made. But TBH, I have been more than happy with how 24 has been running. It hasn't offered me anything I didn't already have. I suppose it's a brilliant tool for those who are not quite so experienced with simming as many of us are. It suggested a couple of things which actually made the shadows look worse, so I returned to my own settings. As for my cynic head and grumpy old man face, I do get rather tired of this notion that AI is the future and it's the 'way forward' blah blah. It's not the case and never will be IMO. Yes, it's going to change the world massively, this is without a doubt, but we really need to get a grip on things and not simply assume that because we're being told it's the future, that we just throw our hands up and follow 'the emperor's clothes.' (“Emperor’s new clothes” means people pretend something is good or true when it clearly isn’t, because they’re afraid to speak honestly or look foolish.)

It's also because it litterally makes people stop using their brains and go into energy saving mode. Instead of learning stuff themselves by study and trial and error, people now just let AI do the work for them.

No one ever learned to write a poem or play an instrument by letting a computer do it for them.

And anyone who thinks it will do more good than harm are kidding themselves.

You are 100% correct.

Bang on point and a direct correlation to today's cars on the roads whereby they brake, accelerate, turn wipers on etc all automatically talking away primary control of the actual driver in the seat so you get more and more bad drivers on the roads because they've become lazy.

Where AI is helping in some places it's becoming a massive ill replacement in others where it doesn't need to be, use your own brains first.

Review 2

With over 40 years of real world flying experience and ovre 35 years of flight simulation, the tool didn't tell me anything I didn't already know. It did however provide a lot of information that would be useful for those that are newer to simming or simply don't have the time for all the research and tweaking that I have. I would therefore recommend it for those who maybe have a bit less experience, knowledge or time as it would be prety useful. It may even come up with a few ideas or suggestions that a few moer experienced users might like to try or test.

The irony is not lost on me that the thumbnails of the videos that try to convince you of the usefulness of an AI tool are also created with AI.

Just quickly went through this video. Is it true that the AI tool suggest to adjust the global profile for nVIDIA Control Panel changes? If yes, you already found one no-go, makes absolutely no sense to change those settings globally if you can do it equally good (if not better) by just changing the settings for the MSFS2024 profile specifically...

AI is awesome. I use it every day. Sure it can and does make mistakes but i find it invaluable in so many ways. People who resist it have no idea what they are missing.

That is a very simplistic way of looking at the power of AI. It can also speed up learning dramatically, giving a wholistic view of the topic much quicker. I was wiring up some Victron components on my RV yesterday and wasn’t sure I had it working right. AI helped me understand (based on photos) that is was right, and why. Now I have a much better understanding of how these components work, and AI was providing valuable insight along the way. It told me about things i wasn’t asking about, and it did it extremely effectively. It was like having an expert next to me, being a patient teacher at the same time. And it remembers everything. The next time i ask about anything related to my RV it considers everything i have installed, other issues i have mentioned, etc.

Again, awesome.
