Having worked with AI and AI products in my last job before I was let go I can say this:
Out of the box AI is very good at the following:
Mundane very simple binary/boolean tasks. Is this a yes/no. Can I find a piece of information that I was told is here based on your statement? Etc
Condensing very complex processes into very simplistic things - NOTE you will lose a lot of information based on this action unless you refine a statement.
Making overarching summaries - kinda similar to 2 but also its own thing, think more creating a summary of a book.
Programmed AI - read machine learning, because you are still telling it how to interpret things - can be good at (depending how good you are at telling it what it should do):
Interpreting meaning in a statement.
Understanding if - then constructs.
Deducing plausible outcomes.
ALL AI struggles at:
Interpreting real vs fake (thats why you literally teach it how to understand what a spot light is with your captcha)
Understanding complexity in speech and tonal differences - I am SO happy to be here /s
Thinking on its own - using collected data to make an inference that it was not directly programmed to understand
The big craze over AI totally was misunderstood. AI is best to be thought of as Automated Intelligence and the word Artificial at its current state is a complete misnomer.
This is just one example of people having been mislead by the name to not fully understand what is up with AI.
