I agree with the view that AI does not truly think and cannot produce genuinely original opinions. It is difficult for AI to give answers that lie far outside the average distribution of its training data. In that sense, it is not very good at producing truly novel business insights.
But that is not what most “work” usually means. Work is mostly repetitive. The actual moment of decision is brief.
So what do I mean by work here? I mean the collection, organization, and synthesis of the materials needed before reaching that decision.
For that part of the process, AI is extremely effective.

Teach humans that the only way to save time on decision-making is to collaborate with other humans I had a reply to your Asian take https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47970518 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47970518
