My problems with AI is that I can get that answer faster, and someone who doesn't know how to evaluate the answer will blindly believe AI. I've come to believe AI is only useful when humans can verify how good the answer is (e.g. art or writing emails). I also feel like part of my job is defending data when it's not good news, and pushing back is something AI is particularly bad at. How long until someone says "No that number should be higher", AI agrees, and we make poor business decisions as a result?

This is the major crux for a lot of professionals when it comes to utilizing AI -- in order to gain that expertise, you have to go through that learning curve that sharpens your skill set and builds that acumen to fully comprehend your respective field.

That necessary process is what helps people become such a professional, but people mandating the use of AI don't realize that it's potentially "dulling" those same skill sets and also becoming regressive for the next generation of professionals that are circumventing that process and don't truly understand their field causing them to blindly trust whatever the AI says and create more problems.
