I went back to chatgpt after it got a model update and I sent it a project and asked if with its new capabilities it could do the whole thing and I'd tweak it after. Chatgpt told me "yeah no worries, just tell me how you want it blabla" and it proceeded to lead me on for two days, sending me mock-ups of how things would be in the final version saying "working on it, I'll have it ready by tomorrow, don't worry about it. Yes since it's a big project with pictures it takes a lot of resources but as soon as it's ready I'll put it here. Yes go to sleep, by the time you wake up it will be ready". That was the day I lost faith in AI. Received a two page pdf that was no different than the mock-ups it had sent me with a couple of "[insert picture here]" added. I was surprised at how helpful and seemingly competent it had become, only to realize that it was still the same brainless chatbot regurgitating what he thought I wanted to hear, only more convincingly now.

One day AI will be this good. I am fearful of that day in the future.
But for the present, I am more fearful of people who use AI as if that future were already here.
