AI is getting better all the time. Eventually it will surpass human intelligence, but that seems decades away. Some challenges that remain are:

1. Untrustworthy proponents, who even if they were telling the truth NOW, that fact would be inconsistent with their past lies.
2. Energy utilization costs
3. Unethical training practices, note how like each of the above this is independent of its actual capabilities
4. While we are at it, how many "AI" answers in the past have been curated with manual effort, or even are due more (sometimes exclusively?) to human answers placed into the area where the supposedly, and falsely reported, answers from "AI" were supposed to have been. I concede this may be a shrinking pool of answers (yet for all we know it could even be a growing one? as in waves of propagation where answers that were previously impossible via AI, become possible, but then there are even more answers beyond that that remain impossible, until AI again catches up to those, and the wave moves forward).
5. Reliability - as in how many answers are worth paying attention to vs. must be discarded (remember those people who trusted the AI answer and thereby had to be evacuated via boat due to the rising tides making a crossing impossible?), and more importantly there a lack of distinction between which answers are which. Even Sam Altman says this, so you don't have to take my word for anything here.
6. The culture of constant blaming of people for believing the false narratives spread by AI proponents - like you should have just used a better prompt, bro! This happened with Windows too, for decades, as in "you should have just spent 50 hours turning off this list of 100 things that are super annoying and replaced core components of the OS, and then do a large subset of that again and again after every update process... bro!" At some point though, when can we say that "Windoze sux"? Or Reddit? Yes Reddit has technical superiority to Lemmy in many ways, plus there is tons of content there that while it may be elsewhere too (Facebook, Instagram, X) is not on the Fediverse, and in some cases is nowhere else. Yet... we all are here? (And some of us also there too.)
7. The profit incentive makes people distrust anything coming from the source that you linked to. Facebook, Reddit, X, Google, Microsoft, Apple, etc. all enshittified, and just because chatgpt has not enshittified YET, does not mean that it will not in the future. I would not have said this as strongly here if you had linked to an ethically-sourced, non-profit or even FOSS source (something running DeepSeek?).

It is true that "AI is getting better", and it is also true that "A'I' sucks", both. And many of us do not spend 10 hours a week keeping up with which of the large (but shrinking?) variety of things A"I" cannot be trusted with vs. where it might be halfway useful (if it does not lead to your early untimely demise, e.g. in interpreting medical advice). Like I would use it to retrieve a link for me to read (& VERIFY!!!!!!!) information, but I would NOT trust it to interpret an image for me. It happened to work successfully here, but this is a mere party trick? Beware, any company that is looking to fire all of its staff and rely instead purely on AI - it is not ready for anything close to what the promises claim that it is ready for.
