I was less inclined to believe this until I got drunk the other night and decided to see how
AI would have solved a problem at work. The problem involved interpretting multiple electronic schematics
and performing "gate-crashing" for a TTL circuit that was marginally complex.Sure enough, after reviewing
the schematic, the AI produced what frankly was complete gibberish -- mixing signal names, what inputs go to what
gates, but was completely authoritative. I asked it to try again two times, and then after it failed on the third
attempt, it gave a sermon on how to do basic visual inspections of electronics (blown caps, bent pins on circuit
cards, etc.)

If one were to just follow what the AI said, they could've written a very detailed report on what they intended
to do by copying and pasting, but they wouldn't have been able to figure out how to solve the actual problem.

If AI isn't able to gate crash at this stage the way it is advertised it can, but it can generate near perfect
prose on a minute, simple, related task, what is it actually designed to do? Simulating someone else's electrical engineering education to sound smart is the only thing it seemed good at, not the actual engineering.
Apply that to politics with no substantive policy, and it feels like a great way to signal to someone that
they are unserious at governing but very gullible to reading drivel and taking it as fact.
