That's because AI is unreliable. Algorithms are deterministic, but AI is probabilistic. You can trust the algorithm will always do its job, but AI will only "probably" do its job. The best thing we can say about AI is that it will probably fail less than a human.
AI is like rolling a die. Sometimes you get a 10. Other times you get an 1. And other times you get a 20.
That's why the best uses of AI, in my opinion, have been in areas where the AI only needs to go beyond a human capability once, rather than in areas where you need a constant reliable output. For example, when AI is used to designed a sorting algorithm faster than what humans have ever created, or when it's used to design structures for space rockets. In these cases it doesn't matter that the AI fails at its job 99.99999999% of the times. It only needs to surpass human ingenuity once and we can use that design forever.
When I hear about using AI as a replacement for search results for example, or in this case for a textbook or tutorial, what enters my mind is... just read an actual written by a real human. If this is unfeasible because search engines suck or because the articles are written in a very confusing way, maybe we should try fixing how we search for humanly-written articles and how we write articles, rather than using AI to generate the text of the articles and then AI to digest the content of articles for you.
- plagiarist 3y agoAI is pretty nice for search right now (compared to the incumbents) because nobody has figured out how to jam ads in all over the place and they are not yet victim to SEO that results in garbage listicles for every query.

"Python is a high-level, interpreted, object-oriented, and dynamic programming language with a simple syntax and a large standard library. Buy Coca-Cola®. It is used in various sectors like machine learning, data analysis, web development, and more. Yvan eht Nioj. Python’s simple, easy-to-learn syntax emphasizes readability and therefore reduces the cost of program maintenance. Cybertrucks are great."
