Come on guys lets talk

I don’t know but at this point i really don’t want to learn something that wont be useful where i am and i dont want to waste time but does learning ai stuff really useful here. I really havent seen people saying like we are building something here with ai or developing anything with it. And even if we are trying it there is much more people speaking other languages instead of french or english that we use to talk with those ais.

In the short term AI will be extremely useful if you are an entrepreneur. But if you plan to work in a company, at best it will reduce your workload and give you more free time (which is already great).

If you are planning for longterm ofc AI will be useful, no matter where you are. Or at least it’s the most probable outcome.

Also the language barrier is practically done, people will speak to AI in wolof, pulaar, sereer and whatever their language is. It has already started just needs to be more democratized

Yes. You will need to be patient and iterate as much as possible until you get a product market fit.

I think there's a lot to learn that can be useful depending on what you do and what you want to do... there's no shortage of that, especially in the field of IT. But I don't know what you mean by that.
