4 If generating a proposed solution for a problem is hard but evaluating a proposed solution is simple, then using AI makes sense.

Productivity in generic graphics and image design in applied art and perhaps generic music (promotional jingles) is improved by orders of magnitude by AI.

When it comes to factual precision AI is anything but reliable. The danger is that it is trained to mimic experts so that non experts in a field will be easily fooled.

It also doesn't know how to say "I don't know."

Pop culture has taught us to expect AI to be a sober, analytical, fact oriented Mr Spock when real 2025 AI is more like an eccentric, unreliable and unpredictable occasional genius like Milos Foreman's Mozart.

6 Let's be honest, any hot thing will attract scammers. For example, Crypto is mostly scam sh!t coins; but damn, you could retire today if you dumped $10K into bitcoin back in 2011.

I work with AIs extensively, i find them very useful, and I can tell you they have different personalities and different quarks - which i find especially interesting.

7 A scam employed by students and lawyers to avoid doing credible work.

There are a few messages in this; eldest got dinged on a couple papers she turned in because, "They were so good, it had to be AI."

8 It also doesn't know how to say "I don't know."

One of the worst aspects of AI.

Useful though. I trained Grok to locate bypassed pay in an area where three overlapping oilfields meet along a fault slip with a very complex, intermittent and somewhat unknown operating history. It nailed the local geology; read & interpreted well logs (hundreds, new & old), planned the pilot redevelopment program (locatons & completions), predicted decline curves (close & improved with additional data), ferreted out solid ideas on regulatory issues only rarely encountered, etc.

When it has a lot of data and context it can do some impressive things. E.g., in considering locally specific completion alternatives it spontaneously decided to write code to simulate fracture propagation behind several combinations of perforating gun geometries & types of shape charges then analyzed eventual lifetime recovery by each completion alternative. Petroleum engineer & perforating contractor said it was "pretty damn close" to their real-world experience. Had dozens of similar experiences during the early "back of the envelope" stage of the project.

It's like having an army of eager young assistants who produce amazing results ... that you absolutely must test & verify yourself. But if you have a wildly complex project with lots of data, many sources of information & a willingness to keep refining the exchanges it can do some wild stuff.
