By the way, what on earth is an AI booster? Do you really mean "enthusiast"?
"My mental model seems to clash with that of the boosters." Please tell us about your mental model, we can't read your mind.
A calculator gives you exact results for a very small subset of problems (equations).
Chat-GPT will give you approximate (and occasionally incorrect) solutions to an extremely wide range of problems.
The main problem with AI is that there are only so many problems where an approximate solution is fine, and an incorrect solution is easy to work around. In order for AI to be broadly useful, it has to get to the point where it's correct more often than an expert human. It may well get there within the next couple of years, but this isn't a space LLMs are designed to be able to solve so it's not as guaranteed as a lot of people seem to think.
We humans rely on thousands of things where an approximate solution is fine. Especially when it's about interacting with other humans.
Programming is an exception, but what % of the population are programmers and engineers?
The majority of jobs that require less precision falls under the umbrella of artists (I will include advertisers here), people managers, and service workers.
It actually sounds pretty familiar for those of us in the side shows for other Miracle Technologies That'll Fix Your Business, but it's a hell of a lot easier to set up a convincing model than something like SAP. Also, unlike ERP, GPT is a real thing, and it does real stuff, so that will make it easier to take the money. Real science is happening, which is always more fun, even if Homo Executivus uses it as a marital aid. I guess this makes me a Booster, but one of those old wrinkled Boosters who sounds like a carton of Newports.
