Why do people keep expecting a language model to be able to do literally everything. AI works best when it's a model trained to solve a problem. You can't just throw everything at a chatbot and expect it to have any sort of competence.
The average person isn't very smart. All they see is a magical black box that goes brr.
My wife is a physician and I’ve talked with her about this with regards to healthcare in general. Most people still think of healthcare like a visiting a wizard for a potion or somatic incantation.
So throw 2 black box-type problems at each other and I have no doubt that a lot of people would be surprised that the results are crap.
