Are there any good alternatives? AI, jobs, and the next generation Good essay. Yes, I know it's from a Microsoft VP. I have an eternal complaint about AI prognostications, which is that when people highlight the good things that AI does, they are almost always talking abo… Speculating about why an LLM gave a wrong answer is like trying to guess why a C++ program segfaulted - the possibilities are endless.
