Discussing his recent book "Not Artificial, Not Intelligent", Django Beatty cites high failure rates and combinatorial explosion issues. Thoughtful essays like "The Pachinko Machine" and "The Machine Can't Plan" frame AI as a useful cognitive exoskeleton requiring human expertise: can be read as an antidote to extreme views. The episode concludes that the true value of AI lies not in automation, but in figuring out how it systemically reconfigures existing work and value chains.
