I’ve tried several types of artificial intelligence including Gemini, Microsoft co-pilot, chat GPT. A lot of the times I ask them questions and they get everything wrong. If artificial intelligence doesn’t work why are they trying to make us all use it?
But it does work. It’s not obviously flawless but it’s orders of magnitude better than it was 10 years ago and it’ll only improve from here. Artificial intelligence is a spectrum. It’s not like we succesfully created it and it ended up sucking. No, it’s like the first cars; they suck compared to what we have now but it’s a huge leap from what we had before.
I think the main issue here is that the common folk has unrealistic expectations about what AI should be. They’re imagining what the “final product” would be like and then comparing our current systems to that. Ofcourse from that perspective it seems like it’s not working or is no good.
We’ll have to wait and see. I’m still not eating rocks or putting glue on my pizza.
