First off, even calling this tech "AI", instead of the much more precise and accurate "LLM" is a major indicator that most of the writing on the subject is hype. Clearly this language is indicating that someone is trying to sell something, not that someone is trying to accurately convey information.

Second, so far in my (very limited) experience, it sucks. I tried an assisted search tool the other day to search for "Do any EV charging stations offer 220v AC as an output?". The results had nothing to do with that input as a structured sentence. It was still just a bunch of links to EV charging articles, which were mostly shit in and of themselves. So the results list sucked, and the individual articles linked to, also sucked (which admittedly is not the fault of the sucky search algorithm).

This seemed like a prime example of where an LLM could shine: properly interpreting the grammar of my inquiry question, to find results specifically related to that question. But it just didn't work.

I don't think this will be an impediment at all to ownership eliminating labor jobs to be replaced by bots. Mostly because most modern ownership policy has very little concern of whether their service sucks or not.
