Artificial intelligence is getting very good, very fast. Whether it's music, text, code or imagery, the time when it was reliably possible to tell the difference between AI and human outputs is disappearing at an alarming rate.

Yet for all their wizardry, AIs can also be quite useless. They make things up and misunderstand instructions. They are brilliant as toys but incompetent as assistants.

Well.

AI 'uselessness' depends on the use case.

Try using AI to analyze or improve a screenplay or create code from scratch.

It does this very well, for virtually zero cost and within minutes, and is far from 'useless' or a 'toy'.

These kind of blanket statements about AI conceal the truth that it is developing very rapidly and only induce a false sense of complacency about the challenge it presents.
