The upshot: these AI summaries were so bad that the assessors agreed that using them could require more work down the line, because of the amount of fact-checking they require. If that’s the case, then the purported upsides of using the technology — cost-cutting and time-saving — are seriously called into question.
My primary beef and the main thrust of my argument was exactly that: the primary triumph of “AI” is as a marketing term.
It does a disservice to research and development of generalized artificial intelligence (which I hope won’t be such a fucking massive waste of resources and such a massive producer of additional carbon waste and other pollution) by jumping the gun and prematurely declaring that “AI” is already here.
I think it does, unfortunately, if only because of how people already take that misleading label and ride it hard.
Valid discussion for sure, and I wish it could be pried away from the marketing bullshit because it’s really misleading a lot of people, including otherwise educated people that should know better.
