I'm citing this short post mostly to attempt a course correction in the discussions about AI, specifically, it's not about decisions. Doug Johnson writes, "What might (and I emphasize might) AI offer in professional services that mere humans cannot? It probably has access to a larger amount of information and data on which to base decisions. It may be able to make those decisions in a more timely manner." Only a very small part of any professional's life revolves around making decisions. Being a professional mostly involves doing stuff: conducting an exam, writing a brief, doing an audit, designing a house, solving a crime, filling a root canal. These are all generative creative tasks. AI may or may not be able to do them. But it's not about whether an AI can make the right decisions.
