Some of this AI brings to mind the old Despair "Incompetence" poster (https://despair.com/products/incompetence)

When you earnestly believe you can compensate for a lack of skill by doubling your efforts, there's no end to what you can't do.

For those too young to remember, once upon a time people went into an office to work. And sometimes HR put up motivational posters. And this spawned humorous demotiviational posters.

If you're still confused, they're memes that printed, framed, and hung on a wall.

Despair is always with us. The "Adaptation" poster was prescient:

The bad news is robots can do your job now. The good news is we're now hiring robot repair technicians. The worse news is we're working on robot-fixing robots - and we do not anticipate any further good news.
