Wrote about this awhile ago, and it hasn’t changed:

> Time and time again, when talking to people who rely on ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and other general AI tools, I hear them say, “AI is incredible. It handles nearly everything I throw at them.”

> “What does it fumble with?” I’ll ask.

> “Well, it still gets things wrong when it comes to my line of work.”

I think these same people believe everything they see on TV, unless the thing on TV is something they already knew about.
