Perhaps.

For an area of environmental history in which I am considered an authoritative expert, AI such as ChatGPT is woefully ignorant. It pulls answers from poorly sourced documents and cannot provide documentation from primary sources.

No doubt it will improve. But currently it is acting as a web scraper and little else.

The same for writing code. The other day I asked ChatGPT to write a C# program that proves the Pythagorean Theorem. It wrote C# code ... but it didn't prove the PT. The C# program just calculated the hypotenuse side for you if you give it the two lengths.

That's an example of how AI is helpful in writing code, but still a long way to go to understanding the needs of the Functional Users and Project Managers I've had to serve over the many decades in different industries.
