I don't know, but it always seems weird to me when people notice AI isn't performing super well and then they conclude that the solution to problem is to try using more AI

Yeah why not? That's how I work. If I don't review my work, it's way worse than if I do review it and revise and iterate. I don't see why AI should be different: in fact it very clearly seems to be the case that is isn't.

  • I mean, I was sold something different. Something super human, vastly more intelligent, world changing. The reality is not that. Am I allowed to be disappointed and discouraged?

    • It has changed the world in major ways, although its not entirely visible because we've become numb to the idea of AI and AI being in everything.

      It hasn't changed the way we sleep, wake up, eat, walk and talk so its not "life changing" or "world changing" in the sense a meteorite hit us, but each day thousands of mini meteorites are hitting Earth and we're becoming normalized to it one step at a time.

      You are allowed to be disappointed and discouraged! For all the good tech that has come out of the AI revolution, most of it is ignored or shelved for things that can squeeze more and more money out of us and make our lifes worse, not better. Despite there being real potential to generate nice code, assist with biomedical research, self-driving cars, etc.
