@ZachWeinersmith LLMs? Firmly in the A1 category. The "stochastic" part is what makes them seem like AI, but it's also what makes them a fraud. Randomness is what fools people and is also likely a big contributer to their worst fabrications.

Also they are practically weapons-grade tools to make code harder to maintain because they fill it with random but convincing nonsense that does nothing, but seems to be functional.

@ZachWeinersmith GenAI especially LLMs: A1 (and "etc" is doing a lot of work....)

@ZachWeinersmith A2.5

@ZachWeinersmith A2 but with moments of A1

@ZachWeinersmith A2 for LLMs. summarization for non critical info can pretty useful, but not worth setting the world on fire for.

other kinds of AI can have impressive performance (image recognition, for one), although of course uses can be ethical or unethical.

A1 or A2, depending on your definition of “AI"
