I once programmed a nutrition calculator, it took incredible amount of research skills, judgment, and cultural culinary understanding for nutritive values in foods from USA, Europe, and Japan. That made clear to me: AI can’t do it, it takes a cook, a nutritionist, and a programmer to feed and instruct such information into AI—in other words, AI is just another compiler.
It takes plenty of human brain cells to make AI come anywhere close to a chef that calculates nutritive values.
What we now see in the AI-fandom world is, that companies are re-hiring back the very people they thought to replace with robots.
„We didn’t miscalculate what AI could do. We underestimated what only humans can do“ [1]
AI usually can only “take over [the easier 96% of] tasks” rather than entire positions [2]
55% of these [1163 executives (in a survey)] regretted laying off people [3]
“the management don’t actually understand the benefits of AI” [4]

Meanwhile, business filings for trades show that Scion Asset Management, popularly known as the guy from the “Big Short” comedy movie, has placed two bets against NVIDIA and PALANTIR. A buyer agreed to buy NVIDIA and PALANTIR shares at a fixed price from Scion in the future, and Scion pays a fee for keeping that fixed price. If the NVIDIA and PALANTIR shares fall in prices, Scion can buy low and sell high. He essentially bets on the NVIDIA and PALANTIR bubble to burst.

I bet that those executives, responsible for layoffs, all have an MBA. The guy from “Big Short” has a medical degree, not an MBA.
