Are you seeing AI used in places where it shouldn't be?
It's no surprise, really, but I'm starting to see companies sticking AI into places where it just doesn't make any sense. I'm not talking about the use of AI all over marketing materials. That's a given.
I'm talking about things like my CEO wanting me to build an AI sales assistant when a simple web form would actually be faster to develop and use.
What are you seeing?
On a parcel tracking web app there was a “GPT” button next to the courier service so I clicked it and saw a very GPT like description of the courier company.
When I inspected the code for the site I saw it was just hard coded in to the web page and figured someone demanded AI should be used on the app so the dev just faked it.
It is infiltrating healthcare in all of the worst possible ways at present. It is sneaking into diagnosis and treatment in ways that are outright dangerous to patients.
AI is the new Gold rush at least for next 2-3 more years. So yes, expect it to be everywhere. Reminds me of blockchain days even though AI does have better use cases overall.
