It occurred to me today that AI was great early on in my work project. It whipped up seventeen case studies in a row, scraped documents to find examples supporting my objectives, cobbled together ways to engage remote students.
It was like a devoted new boyfriend.
That was months ago, though.
You know what AI is not so great at? Ending the project.
That occurred to me as I spent hours aligning all my graphics and re-naming my files and changing the contrast on my page numbers.
Just a few months in and I’m left with the scut work, while my AI boyfriend probably scopes out all the other projects to find a fresh challenge.

Q: did the examples need to actually exist, and did they exist? Accurate footnotes pointing to things that exist have been one of the Great Pitfalls of doing anything remotely important with AI. Spitballing confidently it can do in spades, though.
KC – my examples were in the two page document I provided, so yes. But it didn’t just look for quotes, it had to interpret text and then find if I’d given enough information to support my objective.
