But I think an underestimated feature of AI is its ability to understand what you want. In other words, combine the communications ability of Chat GPT , Grok, etc with non-AI tasks, such as making changes to a spreadsheet, filling in a form, etc.
Think of being able to execute a complex formula, or extensively reformat your document without having to look up extensive menu picks and command key sequences.
The advantage with this way of using AI is that hallucinations, if they occur, are trivial since you know what you want. For example, if you tell an AI to change the quote in the third paragraph to italics, and it changes it to bold, you can see that, and simply re-tell it to change it to italics.
How much easier would a doctor's day be if he could tell AI: "Create a pre-authorization for Insurance company ACME, for Mrs. Smith, for an MRI."
(Yes, after all of Wile E. Coyote's injuries, ACME branched out into health insurance :-) )
