The Medium article (linked) is a write up of this ~5 min video from @emilymbender. It is a very good summary of the current state of AI from a virtual roundtable convened by Congressman Scott on "AI in the Workplace: New Crisis or Longstanding Challenge?"

In it, she clearly underlines how replacing the term “AI” with “automation” quickly opens up a whole host of useful questions: including what’s being automated, who’s automating it and why, and who’s impacted or harmed by that automation.

She's wrong about the correctness of ChatGPT:

> I want to just put in a few more words about ChatGPT.

> It’s important to understand that its only job is autocomplete, but it can keep autocompleting very coherently to make very long texts.

> It’s being marketed as an information access system but it is not effective for that purpose.

> You might as well be asking questions of a Magic 8 Ball for all the connection to reality or understanding that it has.

ChatGPT is far more accurate than a "Magic 8 Ball."
