    One little thing AI can’t do is probably the reason why I also use AI with caution. I use it for all the bullshit emails and communication I have to keep doing just to stay employed. But there’s this one little trick it can’t do. Sure it can summarize a resume or a book or give me the equation to calculated the size of Pythagora’ss triangular dick. But the one little thing it really can’t do is thinking. AI can’t think and come up with original content. It can only mimic and regurgitate old ideas and thoughts, not new ones.

        I may not have a lot of respect for some of my co-workers, and frankly a lump of lard would be an improvement, bit even the most useless human can out think an AI when it comes to anything slightly out of the box.

        My nephew got in a bit of trouble at school a while ago because he answered a question “write a sentence containing the word 'why”." With “Why?” You can ask an AI dozen times the same thing and it will always just do the obvious thing, it’ll never be original. He’s six and he can outthink an AI.

      You can ask it to synthesis information. More specially you can ask it to compare the data and ask to give examples of other things that share the same attributes as the other 2. Also, if I’m painting I sometimes ask about color, but I just got a color wheel.
