The upshot: these AI summaries were so bad that the assessors agreed that using them could require more work down the line, because of the amount of fact-checking they require. If that’s the case, then the purported upsides of using the technology — cost-cutting and time-saving — are seriously called into question.

    These systems are absolutely fantastic at finding real patterns in chaotic systems. That’s where the potential lies.

    No arguments there; my issue is the marketing bullshit that wants to call them 1:1 “artificial intelligence” which is an insult and a dismissal of actual ongoing artificial intelligence research projects.

    More like trying to go to the moon with a Civil War era rocket, it is early days yet. But progress is insanely quick.

    My metaphor was heavy handed, I know. Maybe I should have said it’s like trying to fire a bullet at the moon and just expecting more and more gunpowder to do the trick instead of considering a different approach using chemical propulsion.
