“a fatal flaw in the idea that we will increase our productivity by asking chatbots to summarize things we don't understand: by definition, if we don't understand a subject, then we won't be qualified to evaluate the summary, either.”

This right here is my chief complaint with the whole "AI" "assistance" proposition. If I have to check its work thoroughly, how is that an improvement over just doing the work from the start? Even when dealing with other humans, unless the other person is really on their game, I nearly always find it easer/faster to do it over from scratch myself. I can't seen any angle from which "AI" looks like an improvement.
