It’s a lot more than a sophisticated search Paul. AI can identify non-explicit associations, self optimize and most dramatically generate output that semantic searches or even machine learning could never touch.
As you noted it’s not always right, often it’s errors are easy to spot and this limiting factor is good for humans. That being said, humans aren’t always right either and if AI can be 70% accurate but a million times faster you disrupt conventional workflows where a hierarchy thought process funnels decisions to the most experienced people thus reducing the need for less experienced labor.
We’re already well down this path.
What should really concern everyone, even Marsh, is how this technology is so ripe for misuse and abuse. In Gaza, we've already learned how Israel — being short on military targets — used AI to identify locations to strike with little human oversight. This appears to have been a big contributor to massive unessary civilian casualties.
With Trump eagerly taking his Sharpie to the US Constitution, I fully expect AI usage domestically to accelerate development of the fear based police state on our doorstep.
AI used for good may be a wonderful transformative thing to advance humanity, but when intentions are driven by greed, cruelty and a lust for power the impact on humanity could, no, will be freaking disastrous.
Time to revisit those most beloved science fiction authors of the 20th century as it’s all right there.
