The article is thought-provoking, particularly with its great tagline: "When you don't know what you want, everything looks great." However, the conclusion that AI is inherently bad doesn't quite resonate. It seems that anyone – like the personal assistant described – would find it difficult to navigate human experience without knowing what the person actually wants.
Thanks! My conclusion is not that AI is *inherently* bad. I say it is *currently* bad in more sophisticated contexts. AI is fantastic when people's requirements levels are simple.
Thanks for clarifying, Jurgen; I appreciate your point that AI currently struggles in more sophisticated contexts requiring nuanced understanding. However, it seems that any system, human or AI (now or in the future), would face the same difficulty without clear individual needs, making a general conclusion that current AI "sucks" at human experience feel a bit unfair.
Full disclosure, I have used AI to help me craft this response by only stating what I wanted to convey 😉
