He told me that it will only be able to do menial focused tasks. If AI is completely relied upon, it will give poor customer service due to it's limitations. When I asked why there is so much hype around it he said it was because the entire AI stock market bubble is reliant upon convincing investors that it will save all kinds of money and be sold to everyone. He informed me that companies that are buying and/or considering it are already seeing it's limitations and aren't happy with it many of the implementations. As soon as the market gets that, the bubble will burst. The sad part is, they will be forcing down everyone's throats for the time being and we as the general public just have to deal with shitty service.
