I’d say there are three levels of AI at the moment. Top of the pile are the programs, mostly chatbots and image editors, that are rapidly redefining what computers can do. Just below these are inferior tools that genuinely use AI but do so badly, and simply clutter up your screen (see page 60). And at the bottom are the useless copycat apps that cynically shove ‘AI’ into their name to benefit from the hype.
