AI has massively increased my productivity, and I work a lot on trying to get my colleagues to engage with this technology so we can get more done together. The thing I have to remind them: "It speaks as if it knows, but it doesn't." This really matters in terms of whether 1) you pick the right task for AI, and 2) whether you trust its outputs.
From Gary Marcus: "What these systems do, no more and no less, is to put together sequences of words, but without any coherent understanding of the world behind them, like foreign language Scrabble players who use English words as point-scoring tools, without any clue about what that mean." - https://garymarcus.substack.com/p/nonsense-on-stilts
