AI reminds me of the trend for outsourcing to India. Which works fine until it doesn’t.

There are tasks it can do and tasks it can’t.

Unfortunately the list of tasks it can't do is getting shorter by the day, and the things we didn't even know it could do is growing at all exponential rate. It is genuinely scary, not least because there is effectively zero accountability.

“I hate AI because it keeps trying to steal the jobs I love, like creative writing and being confidently wrong.”

My new job is supporting an AI project, but thankfully I don’t need to do any AI stuff myself.
