It’s worse than a human for most things since it doesn’t know truth from lie and will confidently say both as if they’re fact

It works for most executives and sales folks.

Baseless confidence is the recipe for business success, which is why they love these AI chatbots.

Bigger problem for the business leaders is how sycophantic they want to be to the user. If an insurance company used it for claims, it might actually approve a claim, and that would be unforgivable for them.
