#1 I can only recommend that anyone planning to rely on AI processing data with factual accuracy have a conversation about a topic where he has intricate knowledge.

So far I've always found AI to be prone to make subtle and also glaring mistakes like hallucinating fictional historical figures.

AI is good with esthetics and bad with facts.

#3 Like any tool - AI proficiency will be in the hands of the holder.

I hit a level with my certifications that book learning, MS Learn, Tutorial Dojo, etc - just dont get me over the hump to pass the tests. AI has changed that.

If AI has all these bad facts and hallucinations, I'm not sure I would have passed my AZ-104 exam b/c I relied solely on ChatGPT to drill down the higher level concepts I was not getting from the exam review material.

#5 Unfortunately I fear people will 'cite' AI the same way they would, or used to, 'cite' Wikipedia

I did an experiement with the Jebrains AI assistant which 'helps' you write code. I asked it to 'refactor' a good chunk of python. First time was pretty good, Second... ok, by the fifth time the code was just mush. Looked like Joe Biden had written it while drunk... That was just code which it should have been able to handle easily...

#6 If you've ever touched somebody else's code, you'd know.
