The way I put this to myself is that AI gives “correct correct answers and incorrect correct answers”.

They almost always generate logically correct text, but sometimes that text has a set of incorrect implicit assumptions and decisions that may not be valid for the use case.

Generating a correct correct solution requires proper definition of the problem, which is arguably more challenging than creating the solution.

It’s simpler than that - it’s a guessing machine that has superior access to a whole load of information and capacity to process at a speed at which we humans cannot compete.

Does it make it better than us? No because ultimately the thing itself doesn’t ‘know’ right from wrong.
