  • It gives you a good starting point. If its something simple, like “What are the best night clubs in my area”, then it is useful. It may not be 100% accurate in that case, but you were going to go through them 1 by 1 anyway, and it can give you a quick summary of what they are, so you can decide if you want to look into them more. Or you can further narrow down your results in a way that a simple google search couldn’t. I’m not saying its the be all end all, but this whole “AI is totally useless” thing is just ridiculous.






  • I’m not saying that AI is not without many serious flaws, but your simplification is highly inaccurate. If AI was based on getting “lucky” it would not be a marketable product, but rather just a parlor trick. What it is actually is a computer that can search the web much faster than you could, and provides results based on that search. It is not 100% accurate, but using a direct web search or more advanced model is pretty damn close for most purposes (especially something simple like the case in the article). It’s like calling someone who uses a calculator lazy. Ridiculous thing to say.
