The intellectual divide will be deepened significantly by "AI".

Ive never heard dumber conversations than people thinking "AI" is solving some hard problem. Here are a few examples:

It pulls text out of a pdf
It can read data out of a dwg
It can overlay data into a 3d model
It can update configuration data across lots of code

All of these could easily be done before, people were just too stupid to know how to do it without typing a stupid prompt and wasting resources to do it.

I wonder if this whole phenomenon could be explained by a Dunning-Kruger type effect. Where dumb people see "AI" as a great solution, and those on the smarter side see straight through it as a loud over juiced parrot.
