To be clear, I didn't mean to imply that AI was flawless or had no room for improvement, only that it has made real, tangible improvements. This is why it shouldn't be used as a replacement for humans, but as a tool for humans.
@joe Please cite your sources. What improvements? How were these improvements tested, studied, and documented? Where were the results published?
I trust you're capable enough to do your own Google search.
Isn't it great when you ask someone to cite their sources, and instead of doing so, they say "Google it"? They really sound smart when they do that, huh?
