How about commenting on how those articles refute your statement above?
Most of it is not my area of expertise except for one where I asked my son and he says it's utter bullshit. And that kinda aligns with my own experience in how these "solutions" are presented in a highly misleading and somewhat-legit-sounding-to-a-non-expert way, with some actual facts mixed in. For example, one of the articles mentions customer support chat bots. I've yet to see one of those bots to solve an actual problem. All they do is what we used to call "wizards" where you click your way through a workflow. Now with some extra words added on. And there is plenty of stories out there about those bots hallucinating and businesses then
denying whatever the bot said if they don't like it.
Having said that, AI tools in the hands of professionals of certain fields can do great things. It's when we start believing the corporate bullshit that AI makes everyone an expert or can replace an actual human job, we are going to get screwed. I think they have painted themselves into a corner with the massive investments - now they
have to sell it to everyone. Cart before horse and all that.
Of course, I hardly use search engines like google anymore. I had to do my part, though, as it first gave me some sources that I did not consider of quality, like wikipedia, and I refined the search a couple of times, apart from selecting from what it gave me. As the articles are already linked, I considered it totally unnecessary to put that I had found them using chatGPT in the same way that nobody puts in a link: “searched with google.com”.
Technically ref links are not allowed.
