It's not the AIs which are crap, its what they've been sold as capable of doing and the reliability of their results that's massivelly disconnected from reality.

The crap is what a most of the Tech Investor class has pushed to the public about AI.

It's thus not at all surprising that many who work or manage work in areas were precision and correctness is essential have been deceived into thinking AI can do much of the work for them and it turns out AI can't really do it because of those precision and correctness requirement that it simply cannot achieve.

This will hit more those people who are not Tech experts, such as Lawyers, but even some supposedly Tech experts (such as some programmers) have been swindled in this way.

There are many great uses for AI, especially stuff other than LLMs, in areas where false positives or false negatives are no big deal, but that's not were the Make Money Fast slimy salesmen push for them is.
