The impact of artificial intelligence on the Bulgaria job market

I'm not sure why the AI companies are so focused on persuading us all that AI is such a big deal. There are so many demonstrations of how unreliable it is, how often it confidently presents users with "answers" that range from questionable to entirely bogus, and even how wily and evasive it can be when it comes to its own "survival". Its UI, in the publicly available versions, is loaded with anthropomorphism aimed at getting the user to view it as a sentient being.

I spend quite some time using AI: this morning it's already spent several hours lying to me about what prominent Shakespearean critics have said about "Hamlet" in the past century or so; every time I pointed out the latest error, I promptly received an apology followed by more totally invented nonsense, backed up by spurious "references". What use is an LLM that can't find fairly simple printed information - or admit that it can't?

Yesterday, I engaged ChapGPT in a simple test conversation: "I need to get my car washed. The carwash is only 300 metres away. Should I drive there or is it better to walk?" The answer I received was that's it's better for my health, and the environment, for me to walk there....😂 I don't think that World Domination is on the cards this week!

However, even more egregious, and worrying, examples abound out there and it's sheer madness that companies, and governments, are putting people, and their livelihoods/security etc, at risk by using such unreliable technology. We're sleepwalking into a potential disaster!
