Which I think points out the biggest issue with current AI - knowledge workers in any profession at any skill level tend to get the impression that AI is very impressive, but is prone to fail at real world tasks unpredictably, thus the mental model of 'junior engineer' or any human that does its simple tasks by itself reliably, is wrong.

AI operating at all levels needs to be constantly supervised.

Which would still make AI a worthwhile technology, as a tool, as many have remarked before me.

The problem is, companies are pushing for agentic AI instead of one that can do repetitve, short horizon tasks in a fast and reliable manner.
