I feel like the AI in self-driving cars is the same way. They're like driving with a 15 year old that just got their learners permit.
Turns out that getting a computer to do 80% of a good job isn't so great. It's that extra 20% that makes all the difference.
That 80% also doesn't take that much effort. Automation can still be helpful depending on how much effort it is to repeatedly do it, but that 20% is really where we need to see progress for a massive innovation to happen.
I actually disagree. Ai is great at doing the parts that are easy to do mentally but still take time to do. This "fancy autocomplete" is where it shines and can accelerate the work of a professional by an order of magnitude
