I was about to say nice things about Amazon Q for this answer, until I realized it didn't work. The CLI command mentioned cites the docs for awscli v1 and doesn't work in awscli v2.

People are making using AI for work too hard. Just use it wherever you ethically & legally can.

Don't delay by fine tuning, or training on your data, or building a customized solution. Just get access to whatever the cutting edge model is & try it, you can do other stuff later.

This is terrifying: a marketer pinged me for quote permission — common for a journalist. Only I didn’t recognize the text as something I’d ever said. Pumping it into Google returned nothing.

I asked where he got it: ChatGPT. AI fabricated a quote and attributed it to me.
