A big wrinkle in AI evangelism is that proponents don’t understand the concept of human judgment as a “learned” skill - it takes practice and AI models / systems do not suffer consequences the way humans do. They have no emotions and therefore can not “understand” the implications of their decisions.

For context, generative AI music is basically unlistenable. I’ve yet to come across a convincing song, let alone 30 seconds worth of viable material. The AI tools can help musicians in their workflow, but they have no concept of human emotion or expression and it shows. Interpreting a radiology problem is more like an art form than a jigsaw puzzle, otherwise it would’ve been automated long ago (like a simple blood test). Like you note, the legal system in the US prides itself on “accountability” (said tongue in cheek) and AI suffers no consequences.

Just look how well AI worked in the United Healthcare deployment involving medical care and money. Hint: stock is still falling.

This one pops into my head every couple months:

It's not really my genre, so my judgment is perhaps clouded. Also, I find the dumb lyrics entertaining and they were probably written by a human (though obviously an AI could be prompted to do just as well). I am a fan of unique character in vocals and I love that it pronounces "A-R-A" as "ah-ahr-ah", but the little bridge at 1:40 does nothing for me.

You may have missed the month or so where this[1] AI-generated track (remixed by a person, but nonetheless) dominated pop culture.

Which is ironic given how much variation in output quality there is based on the judgement of the person using the LLM (work scope, domain, prompt quality, etc.)
