it's fascinating how good AI is at solving problems in domains i don't understand.

@nest say it ain't so!

@nest If you ask a person what they think AI is good at you will get a very honest listing of everything the person is bad at.

@nest not gonna lie, you had me in the first half.

@mrencyclopedia @nest Makes you wonder about all the programmers using AI to do their jobs...

[aoanla@hachyderm.io]

@mrencyclopedia @nest well, and the things the person dislikes doing (which is why I think AI Summaries are so popular with those types)

@Gjoel @mrencyclopedia @nest Having worked in the industry for a long time, it sadly doesn't make me wonder... It does embarrass me though.

@nest

Wasn't there a study about that?

Naturally, I would ace all challenges in fields I've never studied. It's uncanny how I pick only hard topics to specialise in.

@nest A role they've taken over from local newspapers.

A story about people you know frequently gets their age wrong, which is a simple, verifiable, objective fact, leading you to conclude that the rest of the story is also bollocks.

But a story about people you don't know is much more believable because you haven't spotted any errors in it ...
