a college teacher next door to your left is saying… :)
The college teacher is saying “this is ridiculous, kids can’t think for themselves these days, I’m so sick of grading obviously ai generated slop.” (That’s a quote from a college teacher friend of mine)
AI hallucinates with everything, coding in particular as well. By your rationale no developer should be using AI either but you will soon be unable to keep your employment (in many places we are already there) without it.
I have already used AI for legal things that would have cost me thousands and thousands of dollars and lawyers are using LLMs daily for all kinds of sh*t...
I might have been particularly unlucky, but on the other hand, my understanding of the law is that passing the bar exam (the standard that ChatGPT reached) is for humans just the metaphorical foot in the door to allow on the job training.
Of course, if you are a lawyer and you have the skill and means to check the output, then it will likely still help you for the same reason someone fresh out of law school would still help you, and for the same reason that I would describe ChatGPT's code as "intern to fresh graduate" and yet still use it.
Increasing use in customer service will be massive annoyance and great business success.
I suspect that sometimes it will be a massive annoyance and sometimes it will be great.
I have been massively annoyed many times by conventional customer service, most of all when having to stay on the phone for a long time waiting for a human operator to answer a simple question. When such questions can be answered by an AI that responds immediately, I will be more than happy. And I will probably use customer service more; currently, I often hesitate to make phone calls to customer service because I don’t know how long the conversations will take.
Of course, there will also be times when the voice recognition fails or the bot can’t understand the problem. Those cases will indeed be massively annoying.
I use copilot with Claude for software development, I cannot see myself going back to traditional autocomplete.
However, I do not see how else AI will revolutionize anything else especially now that they've hit the limits of what is currently possible with the technology of our time.
