Comment on Why I am not impressed by A.I.

As for accuracy, you review what it gives you, you don’t just copy and send it without review.

Yeah, I don’t get why so many people seem to not get that.

It’s like people who were against Intellisense in IDEs because “What if it suggests the wrong function?”…you still need to know what the functions do. If you find something you’re unfamiliar with, you check the documentation. You don’t just blindly accept it as truth.

Just because it can’t replace a person’s job doesn’t mean it’s worthless as a tool.

The issue is that AI is being invested in as if it can replace jobs. That’s not an issue for anyone who wants to use it as a spellchecker, but it is an issue for the economy, for society, and for the planet, because billions of dollars of computer hardware are being built and run on the assumption that trillions of dollars of payoff will be generated.

And correcting someone’s tone in an email is not, and will never be, a trillion dollar industry.

  That’s a very different problem than the one in the OP

The disconnect is that those people use their tools differently, they want to rely on the output, not use it as a starting point.

I’m one of those people, reviewing AI slop is much harder for me than just summarizing it myself.

I find function name suggestions useful cause it’s a lookup tool, it’s not the same as a summary tool that doesn’t help me find a needle in a haystack, it just finds me a needle when I have access to many needles already, I want the good/best needle, and it can’t do that.
