Sounds like standard genAI to me. Train on shit; output shit. It’s not thinking, it’s just loading in the next likely words on a topic.
Common AI in its current state is just 2025 Clippy and finally most people are starting to realise. There’s been no major leaps and bounds in technology, just how that tech was applied to stuff and made more available to the masses.
AI is excellent for many things. GenAI is not for most things. There is no magic, just easier access.
The major leap is the devaluing of human work, but instead of coming after material craftsmanship, like shoe making and cabinet making etc., it’s coming after abstract thinking. Copy writers are fucked for example. We will accept the inferior product because we have no choice. And yet we have to fight for a job to exist as those jobs becomes scarcer. I think if David Graeber was still around he would have a bullshit jobs 2.0 book out expanding on this.
