"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I think the intern comparison fits. The root of the problem is that AI can very good at the thing is is good at. That leads humans to believe that it is good at other things. This is often untrue.
Often the things it is good at are in the set of 'problems machines are good at'. Most professionals, people who are trained/experienced in their field face problem's that are NOT in that set. They are skilled, experienced problem solvers, who are solving difficult, real world problems. Not generic workers, or human resources.
The belief at the top is often that this machine which is 'so impressive', must therefore be good at everything. And this gets pushed down. Where people experience that same truth. The machine is incredibly good at the things it's good at, but it sucks doing what they do.
