I think that now we are starting to see the hype go bye-bye and the real use cases are starting to emerge. However, the systems that come out must be constructed with care aligned with our world has been constructed (reality) and not how the AI Labs believe it should be (theory).

Why would most people use them? What do they offer other than dubious facts that they have to check 95% of the time to not get screwed by something important that it got wrong and in the past would have taken a 5 second google search before the top 50 results became a copy-pasted AI answer?

AI may be good for coding, but it is still crap for many generalized topics beyond a 5th grader's questions. The answers are way too simplified and lack the details needed to rely upon it and contains tons of useless filler. Nobody is going to spend a bunch of money just to ask an AI questions that might be given wrong answers and spews out 75% filler that wastes their time.

Go start asking AI about the Ph level needed for different plants. You can get multiple different ranges depending on how you ask the question for the same plant, with repeated generic plant growing info that is not helpful for anyone that already gardens or has grown a plant.

Part of the problem is there’s so much garbage on the internet that an LLM can consume in search of the answer. As humans, we look into source quality: we can tell it by reputation of the website, how carefully crafted that site is, what qualifications the author has, and much more. There are many subtle tells on the internet that indicate source quality to humans, that AI cannot pick up on.

I experienced this first hand this week while searching for a specification on how much oil my car holds. AI gave me different answers multiple times. I manually searched, found an official manufacturer page, and got the proper information. Had I listened to the AI the first time, I would’ve severely underfilled my car.
