No, not anytime someone is an actual expert at anything, AI output appears insufficient. That is why experts in various fields use AI.

Then to say "Aha, but all of that is AI psychosis" makes obviously no sense: Why would we trust experts when they offer critique but not when they say "this is helpful"?

Overall: People are not insane. AI makes mistakes and, often, fails completely. AI also helps them do things better, quicker, increasingly so. The jaggedness of AI is confusing and real.

How many times have you seen an expert go "yeah these results are good consistently enough for a non expert to trust them without expert assistance"?

There is a huge difference between having a chance of a good result, which can be useful for experts able to filter out the bullshit, and consistent success. I would generate code as a helper, I would never allow a guy from marketing to merge unreviewed AI code.

I’ve never seen an expert use AI in their field beyond the initial ‘oh interesting’ stage.
