AI boom could expose investors’ natural stupidity

I think realistically, you can't use AI for anything where the output absolutely must be precise. AI is great for when close enough is good enough, but even just specifying "close enough" is hard.

If you need to know that the output is perfect then you need to check it, and if you need to check it then maybe it's better to just get an expert to do it in the first place.

Yeah but also maybe an expert gets a shipload more done using an AI? Huge productivity increase? Dunno!

If you're an expert, it's much easier to do the thing rather than to carefully watch over the shoulder of a noob doing the thing.

Again, I'm talking about in situations where you need to be absolutely precise. This isn't for emails explaining simple concepts to a client (which is a good use) but rather a technical document explaining a process to another expert end user.
