I don't see how. "AI" as we know it now is technically not AI and it is growing progressively worse. Even AI that is "grounded appropriately" on walled gardens of data has begun to widely hallucinate and go off track. There is a reason that companies lay people off for this and then realize they need to re-hire. Big tech is trying to convince the world this is the solution when it doesn't work the way they claim for shareholders and shareholders alone.

Don't get me wrong, I use AI all of the time. And it speeds up some of my job. But it is wrong 90% of the time and I have to check everything to the point that it's more of a time suck in most cases.

Well i've used it multiple times to draft articles that i write and also to ask it about information that would otherwise be difficult to find.

and it's sooo good. it saves me so much time. a lot of information is just really really hard to find if you don't already know the keyword that you are looking for. a lot of queries is just a loose idea, and if the machine just knows what i mean instead of expecting me to use an arcane keyword for it, that really brings me forward.
