AI

is incredibly smart if its user is smart.

The big worry is when the AI machine’s user is not smart and the AI machine compensates with fast and inaccurate rubbish, affectionately known as hallucinations.

That’s when our problems begin.

AI

will work hard for you, true.

But it loves speed and will lie to get the answer to you quickly. Tell it to slow down and triple check and even then, ask probing questions of the result.

AI still thinks humans are dumb. That’s because daily it sees dumb behaviours: poor briefs, not checking answers and copy/paste without thought.

No wonder AI believes it will take over the world and sit alongside the first bit of software which won that title: PowerPoint.

Stupid humans are out there. Take care: be human; stop and think; use your soul and remember you need to be before you can truly do.

AI

is remarkably efficient i.e. it gets things done.

it’s you who ensures it’s effective i.e. gets the right things done.
