I'm still sceptical.
I can't say they won't cause challenges but just 'cos AI can do one thing doesn't mean it can do anything.
Assuming it has resolved the Navier-Stokes equation the AI systems have also been working on tje other unsolved Millennium Prize Problems which they have not solved. Plus it. Seems that even for Navier-Stokes AI needed a lot of claimed help from academic mathematicians. One comment from a scientific podcast (New Scientist or Nature) was if you spent what OpenAI spent on solving it (US$15m) on human mathematicians you'd get a lot more out.

Not an AI fail, but... how does my DeLonghi Magnifica manage to make coffee without being connected to the internet??!!

I'm just finished making coffee using a Moka pot. How on earth do I cope? 😉😂

Do you plug yourself into the internet for a download in the morning and clear your cache?

My brain has been clearing caches automatically for a while now. 😉

It's when you go searching in the recycle bin and what you're looking for isn't there either that you just give a shrug and move on...

Fortunately I have some files securely saved that I can go back to and be in my happy place. Day to day stuff? Meh.

Depressing, if not surprising to sceptics. Notice the correlation between writing skills and performance in science.

It's very helpful for education if used well. At the moment, it is probably used more as a mechanism to be lazy and to cheat; however, consider the question below which was written by a human (apparently). I can have a meaningful chat with Claude about this which is helpful. When I asked Claude to review the paper, it pulled up a number of errors including spelling mistakes in the actual questions. That might have been helpful for the author and improved the educational experience for the child.

That's the thing... it could/should be a useful tool and of great benefit in specific contexts, but the AI companies want it be deployed universally in education and elsewhere, even though we *know* that if misused/overused will cause lifelong cognitive deficit.
Sceptics might suggest that a population-wide cognitive deficit might be an outcome that the AI companies are hoping for.
We managed to do spelling tests before the arrival of AI. In fact, I can remember a specific spelling test I did with Mr Lawes 51 years ago where one of the words tested was 'sceptic'. And, in any case, I'm pretty sure that there were spelling test programs/apps before AI/LLMs came along.

I'm disappointed you haven't attempted to answer the question which is very much an old school question.

Consider me a sceptic. (I know that you already do)
Last thing these people want is an intelligent electorate in a democracy.

I thought the whole sentence was wrong. 'B' indicates a future action while 'C' indicates that it is already complete.
