@judgedread It would depend. Right now, I use mine most often for stuff related to genetic engineering and microbiology. I have a separate install of elabftw in which I have various formulas (for buffers for various purposes and so forth) and procedures (do I need to time this for 60 seconds or 90 seconds? I forgot ...) I would say when I ask AI to give me that info, it probably saves me 5 minutes. Initially all of the major AIs had real problems with things like lysis buffers for various purposes, but since I gave the AI my own formulas, it works better.
Where it gets more useful is when I ask it to do something like create a primer. That can be as much art as science. At first blush, it looks simple -- just make the reverse of the section of DNA you want to match. But in practice, that can run into problems with the primer bonding to itself etc if not done just so. I would say the AI has saved me a couple of hours at a wack on things like that, although I have to review carefully because it can make errors. So I would say it is a definite time saver.
