I think AI is cool and useful, but it doesn't obsolete people. AI doesn't have hands, nor does it have social circles of experts to rely upon, or lived experience.

There is no "AI". Calling it that was a big marketing coup to make people think that they were buying intelligence. As of 2026, no computer is intelligent; you still need humans for that.

LLMs can be cool and useful in certain applications.
