So what's so bad about using AI any way?

24. It's an AI problem because generative AI hallucinates and is a pretense of intelligence, a fancy autocomplete

trained on theft of the world's intellectual property. A fancy autocomplete mimicking human intelligence and creativity that can make an error at any time and has no awareness of truth or correct answers.

That's why those tools come with all those warnings that genAI makes mistakes so its results should always be checked.

You have a tool that will always create misinformation being hyped as intelligent, and some humans gullible enough to fall for the con job, trust whatever the AI tells them, and forget to use their own brains.

It's badly flawed tech that should never have been released, and it's solely a testament to hype that it was ever widely used. Calculators would never have been widely adopted if they were so unreliable users had to be warned to check all the results. GenAI wowed the gullible because it could imitate human writing and art so quickly that if you didn't notice all the errors, it looked like instant writing and art with no real intelligence or skill or effort required.
