People are overestimating the value on having AI create something given loose instructions, and underestimating the value of using AI as a tool for a human to learn and explore a problem space. The bias shows on the terminology (“agents”).

We finally made the computer able to speak “our” language - but we still see computers as just automation. There’s a lot of untapped potential in the other direction, in encoding and compressing knowledge IMO.

To have AI recreate something that was already in it's training set.

I'd rather have the knowledge encoded in a way that doesn't generate hallucinations.

Problem space is rich. The thing doesnt actually know what a problem is.

The thing is incredibly good at searching through large spaces of information.
