I completely disagree with the conclusion. Avoid the weak points, don't say we must fix AI to make this work. I feel like I'm writing this every day in one thread or another, but it is time to start applying AI only where it is strong, and not applying it where it is weak. It is time to treat it like any other tool, using it appropriately, which is not universally.
