When I use generative "AI" it invariably contains mistakes. That's just reality at the moment.
So when I see company after company adding AI to every product in sight, I now assume that all of those products are "creating" flawed results.
This is crazy. (Google search is, maybe not coincidentally, crappier than ever.)
We need a whole genre of products that don't contain AI. Maybe they, too, are irredeemably flawed, but at least we'll know the mistakes aren't a design decision.
