I think you mean it isn’t sentient.
AI is very intelligent if you define intelligence by its output to questions.
No, I mean Intelligence, and at best AI is good at answering “some” questions.
“Some AI platforms can carry on long and intelligent conversations at a PhD level about an endless array of topics and answer incredibly complicated questions instantly”
Depending on their training set, certainly. If I train an AI on large sets of PHD papers, I can get answers on those topics, but even then the answers are not always cogent.
I never said AI had no valid use cases, or was not helpful, I said it wasn’t “intelligent”. There are use cases where its very useful, then there are use cases where its abjectly useless and oversold.
Don’t confuse me explaining how “AI” works with saying that AI doesn’t have valid use cases or bring efficiencies.
Its a tool, like any other, and for the right things it can be a very useful tool, however the selling of AI as the solution to nearly everything is flat out nonsense. Just like a Screwdriver is a great tool to drive in a screw, but a lousy tool to hammer in a nail.
Do you use any of the AI platforms regularly in your work or are you just an expert?
