> I notice that a lot of people seem to only focus on the things that AI can't do or the cases where it breaks, and seem unwilling or incapable of focusing on things it can do.

I might be one of these people, but in my opinion, one should not concentrate on things that it can do, but for how many of the things where an AI might be of help for you,

- it does work

- it only "can" do it in a very broken way

- it can't do that

At least for the things that I am interested in an AI doing for me, the record is rather bad.



Just because AI doesn’t work for you, doesn’t mean it doesn’t work for other people. Ozempic may have no effect, or even harmful to you, but it’s a godsend for many others. Acknowledge that, instead of blindly insisting on your use cases. It’s fine to resist the hype, but it’s foolish to be willfully ignorant.
