And I'm still pushing that AI would have most of us settling for a word that's "good enough" rather than just right. It's easier to accept what's offered than to do the work of finding a better word, sentence construction, etc. Close enough works in horse shoes, hand grenades, and atom bombs.
Here's a short version of where I would use AI. Having worked in the same gifted kid organization for 40 years, the terminology for "gifted" has changed every so many years to "talented," "advanced learner," back to "gifted," and so forth. The philosophy of the organization didn't change. So, my job was to recast philosophical statements with the latest terminology. Your basic copy & paste job with a human eye for when the new term conflicts with sentence structure (in which case you need to recast the sentence). In a mature organization, the sheer volume of text to be fixed is huge. AI can do this, BUT with a human overseer because AI won't be sensitive to shifts in meaning caused by terminology changes. E.g., "advanced learner" juxtaposed to skipping a grade doesn't mean gifted; it means student moved up a grade or two.
Of course I agree with you and Dr. Vee.
