Go back, and correct each example. One by one. Now a 2 hour manual job takes all week with AI.
Then when your boss asks why you aren’t using AI to make things faster, you tell him “Well I DID use AI. It completed the job in 5 minutes. Now I’m just checking for all of it’s errors. For example, this contract had your vendors paying you in corn. I had to go back and correct that. Unless you DO want me to just use AI, spend 5 minutes, and we use our entire team on this project for you to be paid in corn…”
I have a feeling that AI will be cancelled pretty quick.
A disturbing number of people think that computers are magic* and therefore whatever comes out of them is automatically not only correct, but the best possible form of correct.
And if they pay money for access to something that runs on a computer, most of them will double down on that belief until it ruins them.
* or logical, or mathematical or some other grand attribute. “Infallible” is a good one.
And you’ll get people in high sales and marketing places who know it’s a fallacy, successfully con others with it, but also fall victim to it when it comes from outside their sphere of influence.
Humans™: We’re really not all that far from flinging our faeces at each other.

I thought so too, but ChatGPT was released more than 2 years ago and people still seem to give its “opinion” weight…
