  • I agree the most with that you called it a toy. It’s fun to play with.

    In very limited cases, it can be a tool - but I’ve asked GPT5 to summarize complex policy documents that I know inside and out and it gets a huge amount wrong or just makes things up.

    It’s getting shoehorned into business when it is nowhere even close to the functionality and accuracy it needs in that space.

    And worst of all, it’s utterly destroying the web. Half of what I find in search results these days is AI slop with that baby’s-first-essay writing style and weasel words aplenty.

    It has a few applications in small, targeted tasks, but on balance I think businesses are vastly overestimating its utility as a productivity tool.
