That’s why I said that AI will excel in processes. If not A, then B. If not B, then C.
That is not to say that there won’t be original thinking from AI eventually, as it’s probably a single line of code that we haven’t figured out yet.
I think the original thinking aspect has been over hyped, but I’m not certain of its ability to crunch numbers is overhyped, which I don’t think that part is overhyped.
One of the first things I asked AI to do was to write some code for a C-64.
It gave me what I wanted in about 5 seconds.
“original thinking from AI eventually”
Every hallucination, every one of the many false answers and errors of AI is “original thinking”. Even when told to admit it doesn’t know if it doesn’t know, AI often tends to act as if it does know.
