It’s hard to say what AI he actually used and if the result was fine or not. I know for a fact something like Microsoft Copilot does write python scripts in the background to do data crunching. That’s a pretty common business thing people use Copilot for, so that’s what it does. The issue I have with that is that it doesn’t share that code, but just confidently shows the results. So checking it is kinda hard, but at least I know that’s a feature of the system. With the regular ChatGPT online interface, I’m not sure. It does have tool calling capabilities, but if it would write a script for data processing or happens to have a sound analysis tool available? I’m not sure. But he might have used a different service or a paid subscription or something. For a lot of people “ChatGPT” is just synonymous with any AI tool. You are right, this is a terrible way to use AI and I personally wouldn’t trust any output like this. However I feel like this is the way it’s marketed to people and the way most people use it. It’s so confident in the answers, people just trust it. And when they are out of their depth, they don’t have any way to really check it. Even though I hate this, I don’t blame Techmoan. He wanted to do something, but lacked expertise. I’m going to give the benefit of the doubt and say he didn’t reach for AI right away, but actually tried to do the analysis himself. Then when that didn’t work, he threw the data into this tool which says on the tin it can do it. The tool then confidently gives him exactly what he needed. We know that result might be total bullshit, but how is someone without any knowledge to know? It does look exactly like the results one would expect (which is what AI does, it generates an answer that looks right regardless of truth). He’s now at risk of AI psychosis as well. As he thinks this went well, he might reach for it more in the future and believe everything it says. If he starts using it more and more, that’s a bad path to go down, especially for a YouTuber.
