Thinking AI is silly is not the wrong trajectory. AI IS silly. The law of large numbers applies. 99% accuracy means that thousands or millions of queries daily are just wrong. So AI is not suited for large scale deployments.
When I was working with a company delivering a product to thousands (not millions) of customers, we still encountered very rare stuff like data corruption due to memory bit-flips. Quite regularly. Even though that's quite a rare event, much much less than 1% likely.
A 1% failure rate for something deployed to millions of places is utterly abysmal. And no, they will not keep improving indefinitely. They've already hit a wall.
