AI is everywhere right now, and so is the noise around it. This talk steps back from the hype and the doom to look at what the research actually says, where AI genuinely helps your Drupal work, and where it quietly creates problems. You'll leave with a clear framework for assessing AI tools and practical patterns you can use Monday morning.

What we'll cover:

  • The Perception Gap: why hype and doom both mislead, and what the research shows
  • The Jagged Frontier: where AI shines, where it fails, and why you can't always tell
  • Practical Drupal Use: where AI helps, where it hurts, and how to keep your codebase maintainable
  • Building your own RAG: using AI to give AI the context it needs
