#2The "centaur" point is spot on. The only AI use cases that actually work are when a skilled dev uses it like an autocomplete on steroids.
The 0% success rate in enterprise AI is wild though. If you can't write good internal documentation and define clear processes, throwing a chatbot on top of it just makes the chaos faster. Trying to skip the foundational engineering logic is a huge mistake.

AI has had a profound and irreversible impact on higher ed, it has changed students completely, it has changed how professors operate, and it is changing how papers are written. The leading voices in mathematics are having profound discussions on the nature and uses of the technology. To dismiss these radical changes with this kind of pathetic snark is actually just embarrassing.
