  That’s exactly it. Here’s a quote from what he said during the article. Dude is so uniformed that he thinks AI is doing amazing stuff, but doesn’t understand that experts realize AI is full of shit.

  “I pinged Elon on at some point. I’m just like, dude, if I’m doing this and I’m super amateur hour physics enthusiast, like what about all those PhD students and postdocs that are super legit using this tool?” Kalanick said.

    This PhD mostly uses it to summarize emails from the administration. It does a shit job, but it frees up time for more science so who cares.

    The real irony is that the administration probably used AI to write the emails in the first place. The mails have gotten significantly longer, less dense and the grammar has gotten better.

    Begin this AI arms race has.

      Lots of things seem reasonable if you skip the context and critical reasoning. It’s good to keep some past examples of this that personally bother you in your back pocket. Then you have it as an antidote for examples that don’t bother you.
