The majority of people's issue with AI is that it's an unhelpful level of competence. It's obviously advanced enough that it isn't just a basic automation tool while at the same time being stupid enough that you would never trust its output. This puts it in an awkward cultural point where it's use is effectively nullified by its own incapabilities.

Essentially I spend about as much time fact checking it as it would if I just done the task myself.

I swear we were told when all this started the AI was going to bring about a cultural revolution give us Star Trek replicators and warp drive.

AI is like a 5 year old that can write perfect english, is really good at arguing his point but totally lacks self reflection skills and likes to make up stuff.

Tbf 5 years could really argue their point if you just believe they are not 5. Something about having infinite confidence.
