It can’t self-correct, write new curriculum, etc. It’s an abyss for errors and it does not understand when you correct it. I’ve tried and watched it give me the same alternating 2 answers that I told it were both wrong. If it’s wrong, you basically have no idea. You’re putting trust in a navigator that is simply reading instructions understanding none of them.

I’ve been in tech professionally for around 18 years and have lived through trends and changes. This is by far the worst one and the most haphazard. I’m not anti-AI (I use Copilot at work and it’s constantly wrong), but what is happening now with this AI wave is just reckless. They’re throwing it at everything because shareholders love shiny new things that make line go up.
