We are all struck with the novelty of generative AI, it needs time to settle. People will throw the universe at the wall and see what really sticks.

To my mind generative AI is great at finding needles in the haystack of stuff we already know. Of course it just as often gives you a fake needle right now, just to see if you notice.

On the other hand "traditional"/predictive AI is often better at the things we don't already know or understand.
